The LNP is calling for a full, thorough and independent inquiry into the actions and operations of Queensland’s building regulator.
The independence of the Queensland Building and Construction Commission has been shattered.
Explosive evidence supporting this is growing by the day.
I am deeply concerned by allegations including board members seeking to influence decisions for their own personal benefit; board members pursuing staff who acted against their interests; and board members acting against the law.
I am deeply concerned 15 senior staff members have left the building regulator over the last 16 months due to the toxic nature of the organisation.
I am deeply concerned by evidence extracted in Parliament at odds with the accounts of brave whistleblowers.
I am deeply concerned by the actions of the Minister responsible Mick de Brenni.
Queenslanders are deeply concerned that the building regulator has repeatedly failed to act in the best interests of Queensland families.
There is now no other option.
We must have a full, thorough and independent inquiry.
I will personally be presenting the LNP’s suggested terms of reference for this inquiry at the next sitting of Parliament.
I look forward to the State Government providing its response to Queenslanders.
Queenslanders deserve to know they can trust the independence of Queensland’s building regulator.
