Queensland Consolidated Acts Queensland Consolidated Acts(1) This section applies if a person (the owner)--
(a) under the law, because he or she is the owner of a place, owes a duty of care to a graffiti removal officer, and any helper, who enters the place under this part; and
(b) is, apart from subsection (2), civilly liable in relation to the death of or injury to the officer or helper because of a breach of the duty.
(2) Instead of the liability attaching to the owner, the liability attaches instead to--
(a) if the deceased or injured person was or is a State graffiti removal officer or a helper of the officer--the State; or
(b) if the deceased or injured person was or is a local graffiti removal officer or a helper of the officer--the local government that appointed the officer.
(3) However, if the breach of duty amounts to gross negligence, the State or local government may recover from the owner as a debt any damages, including costs, paid by the State or local government under subsection (2).
