Mr O'Gorman said as a civil libertarian he had previously opposed law changes making it a criminal offence to make a politically inspired complaint to the CCC. Earlier today LNP president David Hutchinson said "extremely grave" allegations against Pullenvale councillor Kate Richards arose during a review of her candidacy. "The CCC has determined there is not sufficient evidence to substantiate any of the allegations or proceed with criminal offences against any person," the statement said. Labor's council Opposition Leader Jared Cassidy called for Councillor Richards to stand down.

Publication of a complaint or correspondence may compromise how effective inquiries undertaken by the CCC can be, especially when potential witnesses have advanced warning. As a result of the interviews conducted, a number of conflicting versions were obtained such that the CCC is unable to be confident about some of the key facts relevant to the assessment of the allegation. Earlier this month, LNP party president David Hutchinson said Ms Richards was not fit to be a candidate for the party. The recommended changes include greater transparency over conflict of interest provisions for councillors, and justifications for why or why not a grant has been approved. "As everyone in the team knows, I was innocent from the beginning and they now need to state so.".

Mr O'Gorman said Councillor Richards attended two meetings with the party during the review process and "very minor issues" were raised. To remove any doubt, the CCC does not make any criticism of a complaint being made to the CCC in relation to this matter.
"Their so-called powerbrokers have broken the constitution of the LNP and bring shame on democracy.

If you continue we’ll assume you are happy to receive them. A review of LMSIF guidelines in relation to the procurement of goods and services. Councillor Richards and her lawyer are seeking the exact details of the allegations from the CCC and the LNP.

The recommendations are: Note: These recommendations would apply to all existing and any future community discretionary funding program. "What any political party does if they're thinking of disendorsing someone is to give them in writing the allegations, ask them in writing to show cause, and then make a proper decision — no such process has been followed here," he said. David Hutchinson said Ms Richards was not fit to be a candidate for the party. The CCC is an independent agency combating major crime and reducing corruption for the benefit of the Queensland community. He said Councillor Richards would not be the LNP's candidate in next year's local government elections and the party would review her LNP membership. The CCC will therefore take no action against Councillor Richards. "I call on the Lord Mayor to personally respond to the disgrace these thugs of the LNP have done to me, my family, and my right to stand as an LNP councillor … which has now been taken away from me. Councillor Richards said she was "buoyed by support" from many LNP councillors and others in the party. Ms Richards said: "I'm seeking an immediate apology and resignation from key LNP members, who have actually defamed me, they have lied, they have threatened and they have blackmailed me.". However, the CCC did say recommendations about how the Lord Mayor's Suburban Initiative Fund should be used needed to be clarified to "avoid perceptions of corruption". The CCC does, however, find the fact that it was publicised disappointing. In addition to the current criteria, the justification should outline how the application meets the funding principles; if the councillor is required or chooses to sign a hard copy assessment form, the hard copy assessment form should contain the same information as the corresponding electronic form; consideration be given to requiring that any conflict of interest declaration, and what it refers to, be added to the information published on the council’s website; and.
