The Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission says the Premier may have been exposed to bribery charges in a parliamentary debate on immigration.
During the debate, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk threatened to revoke extra staff funding for members of Katter’s Australian Party if they refused to condemn their federal senator Fraser Anning’s use of the term ‘final solution’ in reference to Australia’s immigration intake.
The corruption watchdog’s assessment says that while the Premier may have been in breach, it should have been settled in Parliament immediately, and may be protected under parliamentary privilege.
