Crime and Corruption and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) following several review reports that found problems with the agency's powers, culture and oversight. It streamlines the CCC's investigation powers, introduces journalist shield laws for CCC proceedings, requires the Director of Public Prosecutions to review corruption charges before they are laid, and sets a fixed seven-year non-renewable term for CCC commissioners.
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.
