"I have refrained from putting on record my circumstances and my issues and so there is a bit of a void in terms of my side of the story,"she told reporters in Townsville on Tuesday.
"It has attracted a lot of public commentary,a lot of public commentary fuelled by the LNP,and I think it's only important,and particularly for the sake of my family,that I have an opportunity to tell my side of the story."
Ms Trad labelledthe issue a"saga",but would not speculate on what impact it might have on her chances of being re-elected at next year's state election.
"It's more than a year away and as I've said before,to each and every one of you,I've always campaigned,I've never taken my seat for granted,and I won't at the next election,"she added.
Queensland's political class has descended on Townsville for a parliamentary sitting week that falls amid a raft of promises,scandals and fresh polling that shows support for Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has slipped.
However the government cannot escape the chaos caused by Ms Trad's investment.
