ANNASTACIA Palaszczuk has asked to see Integrity Commissioner advice - expected today - in relation to Deputy Premier Jackie Trad’s purchase of a property set to increase in value from the Cross River Rail project.

Ms Palaszczuk again refused to publicly admonish her deputy today over her failure to properly disclose the Woolloongabba home.

But she said she had spoken to Ms Trad following revelations about its purchase in The Courier-Mail.

“I have spoken with the Deputy Premier and she has spoken with the Integrity Commissioner and that advice is coming back today and I have asked to see that advice,” Ms Palaszczuk said.

LNP Leader Deb Frecklington yesterday referred Ms Trad to the Crime and Corruption Commission over the purchase.

The house in Woolloongabba.

“There needs to be a full investigation into the conduct of the Treasurer of Queensland,” she said.

“Jackie Trad would have known about the uplift in value. Jackie Trad would have known about the potential rezoning of that property.

The Premier this morning declined to say whether she thought Ms Trad had a conflict of interest.

“I want to wait until the integrity advice. That’s why we have a state Integrity Commissioner.”

Ms Palaszczuk said she would not be taken any action against Ms Trad for failing to fully disclose the property as “that is a matter for the Parliament”.
