Police have raided a Burleigh Heads apartment belonging to the partner of former Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.<\/p>\n
Officers attended the luxury beachfront unit of Dr Reza Adib on Thursday afternoon and declared a crime scene.<\/p>\n
Footage, captured by Seven News, showed police searching throughout the apartment, including inside a barbeque, before leaving with a large brown paper bag filled with items.<\/p>\n
Dr Adib was not believed to be at the property during the raid and he has not been charged with any offences.<\/p>\n
The search came hours before Ms Palaszczuk was due to appear publicly to promote her memoir The Politics of Me at an event at Robina Library.<\/p>\n
She arrived at the venue about 5pm, roughly 90 minutes before the event began, and appeared composed as she addressed the audience of about 200 people.<\/p>\n
The former premier was interviewed on stage by ABC Gold Coast presenter Nicole Dyer.<\/p>\n
According to The Courier Mail, some attendees were overheard discussing the police raid during the event.<\/p>\n
During the event, a journalist asked whether she would continue to support Dr Adib.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not aware of any of that so I can\u2019t comment,\u201d Ms Palaszczuk said.<\/p>\n
She declined to speak to a large media pack after the event had finished.<\/p>\n
Ms Palaszczuk was also scheduled to appear on 4BC Drive with Gary Hardgrave on Thursday afternoon, but cancelled about 15 minutes before the interview was due to go to air.<\/p>\n
Ms Palaszczuk and Dr Adib have been together since mid-2021.<\/p>\n
The pair met at a race day in June that year and quickly formed a long-term relationship, with Ms Palaszczuk later describing him as a \u201cloving partner\u201d in her memoir.<\/p>\n
There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by Ms Palaszczuk.<\/p>\n
Investigations are ongoing.<\/p>\n
