A Queensland Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) report on the disclosure of confidential information has been tabled. 

The report comes in the wake of an inquiry dubbed ‘Investigation Workshop’, which focused on allegations concerning the “security” of confidential information at the Integrity Commission.

This followed claims that a laptop had been wiped of data once it was taken by the Queensland PSC.

PSC chief executive Robert Setter has issued a statement denying any “raid” or seizure of items, but confirmed a laptop was provided by the integrity commissioner.

This week’s CCC report says there was widespread misinformation in the reporting of the saga, saying the circumstances around accessing the laptop were “entirely ordinary”. 

It also said that the circumstances in which one government laptop was “wiped” were “wholly unremarkable”.

“These allegations have attracted a substantial amount of public attention, media coverage, and, regrettably, misinformation,” the CCC said.

“A failure to correct the confusion and misinformation around these events may continue to erode public confidence.”

Queensland attorney-general Shannon Fentiman called on the state’s opposition to apologise for spreading misinformation about public servants. 

“This investigation sets the record straight and Queenslanders deserve to know the truth about this matter,” Ms Fentiman said.

“The report goes on to say that a failure to correct the confusion and misinformation around these events may continue to erode public confidence.”
