CMC probes public service crime links

QUEENSLAND'S corruption watchdog is investigating links between organised crime and the public service.

Acting Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) chairman Ken Levy says 32 misconduct matters are under way, including four probes that began in March.

"The CMC has a number of active investigations into possible links between organised crime and the public sector," he told the parliamentary committee that oversees the CMC on Monday.

During the hearing, opposition MP Jo-Ann Miller asked if the CMC was working with the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption, or investigating Australian Water Holdings, the Ipswich Council or any "dodgy developer deals" in the Ripley Valley.

"That is a potential operational matter," Dr Levy replied.

"I'm happy to answer that in a closed session."

Dr Levy was also tight-lipped about which government ministers attended a meeting on March 5, two weeks before controversial legislation overhauling the CMC was introduced.

But when opposition MP Yvette D'Ath produced the diaries of a number of ministers he opened up a little.

Ms D'Ath said Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney, Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie and Health Minister Lawrence Springborg were present, but there was conflicting information on whether Premier Campbell Newman was also there.

"I'll be specific about that one, and the short answer is 'no'," Dr Levy said.

Dr Levy, who has not opposed the government's CMC reforms, said he wasn't asked at the meeting to stay on past the end of his contract.
