Premier David Crisafulli and under-fire ministerial lovers Amanda Camm and Tim Mander have been referred to Queensland’s corruption watchdog by the state opposition.<\/p>\n

The call for a Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) investigation follows a week of scrutiny on the ministers over whether they made appropriate conflict of interest declarations relating to their relationship.<\/p>\n

Mr Mander was in an extramarital affair with Ms Camm while in opposition, which ended in May 2024.<\/p>\n

The LNP went on to win the October state election, and the pair reconnected eight months into the new administration, declaring the relationship as required of ministers.<\/p>\n

However, each has refused to reveal whether they sought integrity commissioner advice on whether they needed to declare their prior relationship upon coming to government.<\/p>\n

Mr Crisafulli has also declined to reveal whether he encouraged his ministers to seek integrity advice about the prior relationship.<\/p>\n

Opposition leader Steven Miles said the government had left Labor with little choice.<\/p>\n

“The LNP Crisafulli government is in the midst of a very serious integrity crisis, and you saw yesterday in the parliament that the premier and those ministers are unwilling to answer simple questions about what happened,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“For that reason, we’ve written today to the Crime and Corruption Commission to investigate every element of this integrity crisis.”<\/p>\n

In response to questions on the referrals, the government pointed to a section of the Crime and Corruption Act, where a person commits an offence if a complaint is made vexatiously, or not in good faith, or recklessly or mischievously.<\/p>\n

‘Serious questions’<\/p>\n

Ms Camm, Mr Mander, and Mr Crisafulli have consistently assured that all appropriation declarations had been made.<\/p>\n

Each has been contacted for comment.<\/p>\n

Olympics Minister Tim Mander on Tuesday denied any advocacy by Ms Camm for the sailing in the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games be moved to her Whitsundays electorate.<\/p>\n

In the letter to the CCC, Mr Miles and deputy opposition leader Cameron Dick wrote there were “serious questions” over conflict of interest management, which may have “compromised” government decision-making.<\/p>\n

“Queenslanders deserve to have confidence that decisions made with taxpayer funds are not done so for personal gain,” the letter reads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The ministerial code of conduct requires all personal interests, including relationships, to be declared.<\/p>\n

The opposition’s letter requested that any investigation report be made public to “ensure public confidence” in government processes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Premier David Crisafulli and under-fire ministerial lovers Amanda Camm and Tim Mander have been referred to Queensland’s corruption…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":793940,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[140801,4740,31585,322067,4795,50,80,4797,154869,4798,37348,154872,324018],"class_list":{"0":"post-793939","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-amanda-camm","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-ccc","11":"tag-corruption-watchdog","12":"tag-david-crisafulli","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-politics","15":"tag-qld","16":"tag-qld-government","17":"tag-queensland","18":"tag-state-politics","19":"tag-steven-miles","20":"tag-tim-mander"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116568494711937814","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=793939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/793939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/793940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=793939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=793939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=793939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
