Within Queensland, loosely:
- Section 2 of the Constitution Act 1867 allows the government to make laws for the "peace welfare and good government of the colony in all cases whatsoever".
- Section 11A of the Constitution Act 1867 provides that the Governor is the Queen's representative in Queensland.
- The Constitution of Queensland 2001 sets out various functions; including the manner in which the Legislative Assembly operates, jurisdiction of the Supreme and District Court, and local government.
- Each Act will state within it what and to whom it is applicable.
- All laws in Queensland are made by one of two ways:
(1) By an Act of Parliament, which is a where a Bill passes through the Legislative Assembly and is voted on, and then receives Royal assent from the Governor; or
(2) By power of delegation in an Act of Parliament for certain reserved matters (eg: local Council by-laws).
So, all laws in Queensland are only laws by assent of the Queen. Therefore, any validly passed Act in Queensland has whatever application it says it does; which is effectively on the Queen's say so.

Do you have any particular Acts in mind?
Many Acts refer to person/s. The common law definition of person will hold a person to be a human being of sound mind.
