Queensland’s opposition leader is not fit to lead the state following allegations he ran a company that might have been trading insolvent, the premier says.
The premier’s attack on Crisafulli relates to a 2019 liquidators report that claimed a training organisation he briefly led before re-entering parliament had exaggerated some assets. The investigation also found the company consistently could not pay creditors and had attempted to sell the business over its financial difficulties before Crisafulli became director.Crisafulli on Wednesday accused the government of trying to tarnish his reputation, saying he had responded to the allegation after returning to parliament.
During an address to parliament in 2018, Crisafulli said he took the training organisation job based on the promise money would be injected into the business.
