Reported at www.abc.net.au: A report by the Crime and Corruption Commission alleging misconduct by former Queensland Deputy Premier Jackie Trad has been released in parliament, highlighting her aggressive approach to the appointment of a top bureaucrat.

The release of this report has sparked discussions on the implications for the Labor Party and the power of Queensland’s corruption watchdog amidst concerns over governmental transparency.

Trad has denied the allegations, which suggest she exerted undue pressure, but the investigation found insufficient evidence for prosecution against her.
