Certain dog breeds will be banned and owners held criminally responsible for attacks under laws to be tabled when Queensland parliament resumes.
The government gave Queenslanders until August 24 to respond to community consultation into a crackdown on irresponsible dog owners and maintaining community safety from dangerous dogs.
Proposals for a new offence that warrants jail time of up to five years for serious attacks, and a state-wide requirement for all dogs to be effectively controlled in public places form part of the bill.
