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 1986 as well as older laws passed by New South Wales and the United Kingdom because the state was a former colony. ==History== The Parliament was founded 22 May 1860, less than a year after the Colony of Queensland was created in June 1859. It was convened at a converted former military and convict barracks located on Queen Street, Brisbane.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Us )〕 Immigration was an important issue for the early Parliament.
