Plain English Summary

Overview

This bill strengthens Queensland's anti-corruption framework by widening what counts as 'corrupt conduct' and giving the Crime and Corruption Commission broader powers to investigate and prevent corruption. It implements government election commitments and Parliamentary committee recommendations to make the Commission more effective.

Who it affects

Public sector employees face clearer conduct standards, while private citizens who engage in collusive tendering, licence fraud or tax evasion can now be investigated. People named in Commission reports gain the right to respond before publication.

Key changes

  • Expands 'corrupt conduct' definition to include private citizens who undermine public confidence through collusive tendering, licence fraud, dishonestly obtaining public funds, or evading state taxes
  • Gives the Commission power to investigate conduct that could allow, encourage or cause corruption - not just proven corruption itself
  • Requires the Commission to give people a chance to respond before publishing adverse comments about them in reports
  • Extends QCAT review timeframe from 14 to 28 days for corruption-related decisions
  • Creates a unified disciplinary framework so action can continue when employees move between the Commission, public service, ambulance and fire services
  • Simplifies how the Commission can share information with other agencies including the Ombudsman, police and auditor-general
