Responded By:
Hon Paul Lucas MP
TO: The Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland
The petition of citizens of Queensland draws to the attention of the House that:
There are concerns about political corruption in Queensland, beyond Gordon Nuttall's transgressions.
-
Gordon Nuttall will serve a longer jail sentence than some murderers and rapists.
-
The Fitzgerald inquiry into Queensland political corruption was successful because of evidence from perjurer and criminal Jack Herbert.
-
A future inquiry into Queensland political corruption can also be successful because of evidence from perjurer and criminal Gordon Nuttall.
-
Notes that neither the Government nor the Opposition have supported the establishment of an independent inquiry into political corruption.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to support the establishment of a Fitzgerald style independent inquiry to investigate and uncover political corruption in Queensland.
