Queensland’s Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) has found the state’s deputy premier did not interfere in the recruitment process of a new college in Brisbane, an allegation that forced the leader to step down from her role in early May. The CCC did however find the actions of department officials created a “corruption risk.”
The CCC began its investigation into former Deputy Premier Jackie Trad on Dec. 19, 2019, over allegations she interfered in the Department of Education’s recruitment of a principal for the newly built Inner City South State Secondary College in Brisbane.
