Crime and Corruption (Restoring Reporting Powers) Amendment Bill 2025
This bill restores the Crime and Corruption Commission's power to publicly report on corruption matters, after a 2023 High Court decision found this power was never properly authorised by law. It creates new safeguards to protect individuals who may be named in reports, while ensuring the CCC can continue its vital role exposing public sector corruption.
Crime and Corruption and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms Queensland's Crime and Corruption Commission following the 2022 Fitzgerald-Wilson Commission of Inquiry and parliamentary reviews. It requires the Director of Public Prosecutions to advise on corruption charges before they are laid, extends journalist shield laws to CCC proceedings, and changes how CCC Commissioners are appointed and how long they can serve.
Crime and Corruption (Reporting) Amendment Bill 2024
This bill gives the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) clear legal power to publicly report on corruption investigations and make public statements. It responds to a 2023 High Court decision that found the CCC had been publishing reports without proper legal authority. The bill implements recommendations from an independent review to balance government transparency with protections for individuals who are investigated.
