Christmas school holidays start 12 December. Who has the kids, and when?

That's 46 days of holidays. It's a long stretch to leave to guesswork.

If you already have parenting orders, read them now. Many spell out Christmas Day and holiday time.

If you don't, a plan agreed in writing now is far easier than one sorted out on 23 December.

If talks have stalled, getting advice early gives you more room to move.

Talk to our Mackay family law team before the holidays.

We will never change our bank details by email.

Scammers know when a property settlement is coming up.

They copy a real-looking email, swap in their own account, and wait for the money.

If you ever get an email saying our bank details have changed, don't pay it.

Call us on a number you already have before any money moves.

Buying or selling in Mackay? Talk to our team early about how your settlement funds will be handled.

Police can now wand you for knives in any public place in Queensland.

Jack's Law used to cover a few nightlife areas. Now it covers every public place in the state.

In the Far North alone, police have scanned more than 15,000 people and charged 241 of them.

Carrying a knife in public without a reasonable excuse is a criminal offence.

If you've been charged, talk to a lawyer before you go to court.

Harvey Legal acts for private clients in Mackay. Book in with our criminal team today.

Taking copper from a mine site or rail line just got a lot more serious in Queensland.

Parliament passed tougher metal theft laws this week.

Stealing or damaging metal where someone's life is put at risk, or during a natural disaster, can now mean up to 25 years jail.

Even trying to steal valuable metal is now its own offence, with up to 7 years.

Scrap dealers face stricter ID and record rules, so stolen metal is easier to trace.

If police have contacted you about stolen metal, talk to a criminal lawyer early.

Police ran 1,733 roadside drug tests over the school holidays. More than 370 drivers got caught.

That's about one in every five drivers tested, and police say the patrols aren't stopping now the holidays are over.

A drug driving charge can put your licence, your job and your record on the line.

Police are treating e-scooters and e-bikes like any other vehicle. The numbers prove it.

In the first three months of Queensland's new e-mobility laws, police took 558 non-compliant e-bikes and e-scooters off the road.
Nearly 2,500 fines have gone out statewide, about 1,500 of them for no helmet.
133 of those fines were in Mackay Whitsunday.
A fine you can pay. A charge means a court date.

Heading into the King's Birthday long weekend?

A lot of Australian road-safety posts talk about "double demerits for the holiday." That is not how Queensland works.

In Queensland, double demerit points apply all year for certain second or later offences within 12 months. They are not switched on only for public holidays. That covers groups such as speeding more than 20 km/h over the limit, illegal mobile phone use, seatbelt offences, and motorcycle helmet offences.

If you are close to a suspension, or you have already been hit with demerit points, the long weekend is a good time to get clear on where you stand before you drive.

Harvey Legal helps Mackay and regional drivers with traffic and criminal matters, including demerit and licence risk.
