Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will not be referred to ethics committee over private emails
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk will not be referred to Parliament's powerful ethics committee after the state opposition alleged she misled the House over her use of a private email account for official purposes several years ago.
Key points:
Ms Palaszczuk says an email was not sent in relation to her role as Premier but as an ALP member
The CCC chairman says there is nothing in the contents of the emails that sparks the agency's interest
Opposition MP Fiona Simpson says she "respectfully disagrees" with the Speaker's ruling
The matter was referred to Speaker Curtis Pitt by opposition MP Fiona Simpson late last year, who alleged Ms Palaszczuk deliberately misled Queensland Parliament when answering a question during a debate in February 2017.
