A Brisbane-based small business owner, Lina, wants to challenge two different legal issues. First, she believes a Queensland government licensing decision unfairly refused to renew her food business licence. Second, after separating from her spouse, she needs legally binding parenting orders for their child and there is disagreement about where the child will live. Explain which specialist tribunal or specialist court would most appropriately deal with each issue, identify whether each body operates in a state or federal jurisdiction, and justify how the use of these specialist bodies supports access to justice (e.g. through expertise, informality, cost, timeliness, or appropriate procedures).
