Fraser Confirms Material forwarded to CMC

Treasurer Andrew Fraser has confirmed that material regarding allegations of impropriety in Queensland Racing Limited has been collated and referred to the CMC.

The allegations are contained in a letter dated 19 August which was received in the Office of the Treasurer on 20 August.

"I first became aware of the letter around midday on Friday 22 August and after reviewing its contents convened a meeting with officials to discuss the allegations,” Mr Fraser said.

"At that meeting I asked for the department to formally assess the material and refer the matter on to the CMC, and any other body, as necessary.

"I have been advised by the Under Treasurer that the material is now in the hands of the CMC.

"As such, it would be inappropriate to comment further."
