Queensland Whistleblowers Protection Act amended

The Whistleblowers (Disclosure to Member of Parliament) Amendment Act 2007 has been passed by the Queensland Parliament.

It will commence on a date to be proclaimed.

The Act amends the Whistleblowers Protection Act. It will allow a public officer to make a public interest disclosure to a member of the Legislative Assembly who may refer it to the appropriate public sector entity. The member has no role in investigating the disclosure.
