Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk in heated exchange during press conference
It became quite spirited in a press conference yesterday starring the Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk in a heated exchange with Peter Fegan from 9 news & 4BC, who joins Luke Grant to explain the incident.
The Qld Government continues to be drowning in corruption allegations within some of the bureaucracy is the Ms Palaszczuk continues to refuse to say why she referred Integrity Commissioner Nikola Stepanov to a parliamentary committee with the power to sack her after she raised concerns about interference in her office.
Ms Palaszczuk rejected Ms Stepanov’s allegations that those issues were linked, but said she “can’t say” what happened to cause the referral to the Economics and Governance Committee because “some matters are before the CCC” however she added “The matters that were referred to that committee are not what she alleges.”
At the presser Ms Palaszczuk asked our man Peter Fegan not to “make stuff up”, “get your facts correct”… hardly something Mr Fegan did or would do.
