Queensland opposition figures call for an investigation after weeks of public scrutiny into whether ministers Tim Mander and Amanda Camm properly made conflict-of-interest declarations connected to their relationship. ABC Australia reports the inquiry request is linked to questions about whether the ministers’ disclosures and timelines were appropriate.
In separate coverage, ABC Australia and multiple newspapers report that Mander and Camm address questions about the timing and substance of their declarations, with the ministers insisting there is no conflict of interest. The Brisbane Times, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age also say the pair decline to answer whether they disclosed their romance when they were first sworn into cabinet, citing integrity advice.
ABC Australia reports that the opposition also refers the Premier to the CCC, alongside the ministers, in the context of the same concerns. Across outlets, the dispute focuses on declaration responsibilities, the timing of any disclosure, and whether the ministers followed relevant integrity requirements as their relationship developed.
