The Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission has confirmed it will not formally investigate state Deputy Premier Jackie Trad over allegations of corrupt conduct. Ms Trad, Queensland's second most senior woman in political office, has for weeks been engulfed by an integrity crisis over a Woolloongabba "fixer-upper" investment home she claims her husband bought using a trust she also benefits from. The CCC has been assessing the purchase of the unremarkable property along the route of the state government's Cross River Rail project Ms Trad was overseeing.
Despite that assessment, the CCC today said it will not formally investigate her over the matter, but has also called for improvements to Cabinet processes. "The CCC received an initial complaint on 18 July 2019 containing allegations the Deputy Premier engaged in corrupt conduct in relation to decisions about Cross River Rail and, to a lesser extent, decisions about the ICSSSC," the anti-corruption body said in a statement. "A subsequent complaint specifically containing allegations the Deputy Premier engaged in corrupt conduct in relation to decisions about the ICSSSC was received by the CCC on 2 August 2019.
