Chairperson of the Crime and Corruption Commission
Role / OfficeReferenced in 2 bills
Crime and Corruption (Restoring Reporting Powers) Amendment Bill 2025
This bill restores the Crime and Corruption Commission's power to publicly report on corruption investigations and make public statements about corruption matters. The High Court ruled in 2023 that the CCC had never actually held this power, invalidating past reports. The bill creates new reporting powers with safeguards, enhances procedural fairness for people named in reports, and retrospectively validates all past CCC corruption reports.
Crime and Corruption and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill strengthens Queensland's anti-corruption framework by widening the definition of 'corrupt conduct' and giving the Crime and Corruption Commission broader investigative powers. It also implements recommendations from two parliamentary committee reviews to improve how the Commission operates, including better disciplinary processes for public sector employees who move between agencies and new procedural fairness protections for people named in Commission reports.
