The Liberal National Party has referred Labor’s appointment of a political director to the left-wing activist group Get-Up to the Crime And Corruption Commission.

The appointment of Josh Genner within an advisor role within Jackie Trad’s office was described as a ‘corruption risk’ by State Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington.

The Palaszczuk government has responded by vocalising Mr Genner’s role as “within the existing staff budget.”
