Integrity and accountability
On 6 August 2009, the Queensland Government released the discussion paper, Integrity and Accountability in Queensland (PDF, 600 KB) to prompt public discussion on how Queensland's integrity and accountability system could be improved and strengthened.
A Round Table of experts was appointed to assist the Government in considering possible reforms. The Queensland Government received over 200 submissions during the consultation process.
The Queensland Government has released Response to Integrity and Accountability in Queensland which sets out the Government's agenda for integrity and accountability reforms.
