Integrity and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2022

This bill strengthens the independence of Queensland's key integrity bodies — the Auditor-General, the Integrity Commissioner, and the Ombudsman — following the Coaldrake Report's review of culture and accountability in the public sector. It makes the Auditor-General an officer of Parliament, creates a formal Office of the Integrity Commissioner, and introduces criminal penalties for unregistered lobbying.
