Statement from the Deputy Premier

The matters raised in recent days need to be clearly resolved once and for all. I continue to refute the allegations made by the LNP.

I want this resolved as quickly as possible and so I have decided to refer this to the CCC to consider whether it’s a matter that requires investigation.

The Integrity Commissioner has advised against releasing her advice publicly while this matter is under consideration.  

While the matter is being considered by  the CCC, I have undertaken to remove myself from any decision making involving Cross River Rail.

I made clear my intention to sell the property when the outcome of the CCC consideration is known.
