Parliament of Queensland

The Parliament of Queensland is the legislature of Queensland, Australia. According to the state’s constitution, the Parliament consists of the Queen and the Legislative Assembly. It is the only unicameral state parliament in the country. The upper chamber, the Legislative Council, was abolished in 1922. The Legislative Assembly sits in Parliament House in the state capital, Brisbane.

All laws applicable in Queensland are authorised by the Parliament of Queensland, with the exception of specific legislation defined in the Constitution of Australia, criminal law applying under the Australia Act 1896 as well as older laws passed by New South Wales and the United Kingdom because the state was a former colony.
