Rabbits are illegal in he state of Queensland because they are an introduced pest. If pet owners were more responsible and did not let their rabbits out to breed in the wild, legislation would be unnecessary: however, the feral rabbit problem in Queensland is bad enough without adding to it. Rabbits eat the native vegetation on which native animals depend; they breed much faster than native mammals; and consequently, they cause untold millions of dollars worth of destruction, ecologically.

The rabbits that are currently a national pest in Australia are the same species as the domesticated rabbit, both descended from the wild European rabbit.

No. Rabbits are banned as pets in Queensland as they pose too great a risk to the environment through the actions of irresponsible pet owners who happily abandon their pets out in the bush.

That means you cannot get a licence to keep rabbits in Queensland. Exceptions may be made for certain animal sanctuaries, but some of these keep rabbits illegally - or out of ignorance - because it is too difficult for them to obtain the necessary permission. Fines are quite high and it is not worth the risk.
