What was found
The best statutory language in the index on the question Queensland refuses. The ordinance requires the inspectorate to keep the estate agent register by automated processing, and states that its purposes include supervision and information to the public about agents who are, or have been, registered. Past registration is not an awkward disclosure to be avoided; it is a stated purpose of the register.
The only entry in the index that records a register being deleted, which makes it the closest thing anyone has to a controlled experiment. On 1 January 2014 the central registers of estate agents and property managers lost legal force and were closed by operation of law, pending licence applications were discontinued, and every requirement went with them: the licence, the clean criminal record, the relevant education, the supervised placement. Professional liability was removed too, leaving an agent answerable only in court.
