Crisafulli's Cautious Response Raises Questions About Accountability The sudden departure of Queensland Olympics Minister Tim Mander from his portfolio duties has sent shockwaves through the state government, but Premier David Crisafulli's handling of the situation is more telling than the minister's alleged misdeeds.
While Crisafulli's attempts to reassure the public that he will wait for the outcome of an Australian Federal Police investigation are laudable, they also serve as a reminder of the systemic issues plaguing Queensland's politics.
Mander's referral to police stems from his questionable residency claims, which have sparked concerns about voter integrity.
