Questions of integrity cloud QLD Government

Noise surrounding the transparency of decisions made by the Queensland Government on behalf of the public is becoming louder as senior bureaucrats leave and publicly criticise the public service, including the resigning of the QLD Crime and Corruption Commission Chairman Alan MacSporran last week.

Outgoing Integrity Commissioner Nikola Stepanov and independent and opposition state parliamentarians are calling for reviews of the integrity of government agencies and for a reform to the funding of the Crime and Corruption Commission and Office of the Integrity Commissioner.

QLD schools adapting

At the resumption of school on February 7, high school students and teachers in Queensland will be required to wear masks to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk also announced on Sunday that rapid antigen tests (RATs) will be given to both students and school staff who present with coronavirus symptoms.

Elaborating on the school restrictions, Minister for Education Grace Grace explained school visitors would be limited and excursions and assemblies would be suspended for the first 4 weeks of term.

Perrottet's plan: NSW version of Jobkeeper

$1,000,000,000 has been allocated to small and medium businesses in a New South Wales (NSW) state run Jobkeeper type welfare scheme.

Last Sunday, NSW premier Dominic Perrottet provided some detail on the scheme, which will provide payroll support to businesses with turnovers of between $75,000 and $50m that had a decline of at least 40% in turnover in January.

Despite requests from the state government, the Commonwealth is not contributing to the scaled down Jobkeeper program that can cover 20% of the payroll costs of the qualifying enterprises.

Hillsong swan song?

The leader and founder of the Hillsong Church vacated his position as head of the church.

Brian Houston announced yesterday he would be stepping down as he defends criminal charges of alleged covering up of child sexual abuse.

His decision has been made based on legal advice provided to the church.
