Yet the CCC remains in flux,withchair Alan MacSporran leaving on Friday,his successor unknown and the government considering reforms and another inquiry into the corruption watchdog.
Two hours before Mr MacSporran’s departure,the government announced CCC Commissioner Bruce Barbour - who has previously stood in as acting Integrity Commissioner - would be acting chair for three months.
Ms Palaszczuk’s missive to state employees came after Mr Summerell broke his silence to declare his ability to act on “matters of integrity was significantly compromised and unsupported”.
Mr Summerell,who left the position in 2021,said he had been told his “contract would not be extended” aftergrappling with the issue of private emails being used for public purposes.
However,Ms Palaszczuk said Mr Summerell had appropriately outlined his concerns to the CCC before he “departed” after being “offered an extension” for his role.
She would not comment further.
“I absolutely encourage if anyone suspects any form of corruption,they should make a complaint through the[Crime and Corruption] act to the CCC,” she said.
