<\/p>\nPremier David Crisafulli is standing by two of his ministers who have insisted they did not breach conflict of interest rules over their on-again off-again relationship.<\/p>\n
He has also defended not disclosing he was aware of Tim Mander and Amanda Camm’s initial relationship while the LNP was in opposition.<\/p>\n
Mr Mander, who holds the Olympics portfolio, and Ms Camm, who holds the child safety portfolio, are both adamant they appropriately declared the relationship.<\/p>\n

Amanda Camm and Tim Mander were in a personal relationship between June 2023 and May 2024.\u00a0 (ABC News: Glenn Mullane)<\/p>\n
The pair admitted earlier this week they were in a “personal relationship” from June 2023, but it ended in May 2024 \u2014 before they were sworn in as ministers later that year.<\/p>\n
They say they then resumed their relationship in June 2025, before making the relevant disclosures the next month after seeking integrity commissioner advice.<\/p>\n
The ministerial code of conduct requires ministers to declare personal interests, including “relationships”.<\/p>\n
Mr Crisafulli on Thursday ruled out a cabinet reshuffle and said he believed Mr Mander and Ms Camm had conducted themselves appropriately according to the ministerial handbook.<\/p>\n
“I have a duty to administer the law, and both ministers have assured me they have complied with the law,” the premier said.<\/p>\n
“I’ve listened to the debate over the few days, and again there is no information that has come to me to suggest that they haven’t.<\/p>\n
“If people have information that they believe shows that that wasn’t the case, I will act.”<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Mr Crisafulli was asked when he found out Ms Camm and Mr Mander were in a personal relationship, and he said this occurred when they “declared it”.<\/p>\n
The premier believed the question related to when the pair started their relationship as ministers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Premier quizzed on if he knew of earlier relationship<\/p>\n
But both Ms Camm and Mr Mander on Wednesday revealed Mr Crisafulli was actually aware of their earlier relationship while they were in opposition.<\/p>\n
Asked why he did not disclose that he was aware of the initial relationship when he was quizzed about the issue on Sunday, Mr Crisafulli suggested it was a “private matter”.<\/p>\n
“I have this view that privacy matters and so too does ministerial accountability,” he said.<\/p>\n
Mr Crisafulli would not say if he informed the integrity commissioner about the earlier relationship between Ms Camm and Mr Mander when he assembled his cabinet.<\/p>\n
“I will not go into people’s private lives. I just won’t do that. I didn’t do it against the Labor Party, and I won’t do it now,” he said.<\/p>\n

Neither Ms Camm nor Mr Mander would say on Wednesday if they told the integrity commissioner about their earlier relationship when they were sworn in as ministers.<\/p>\n
They both argued there was no conflict of interest to declare because they were not a relationship at the time.<\/p>\n
