Attorney-General Shannon Fentiman says it will be up to Tony Fitzgerald to broaden the probe into the state’s crime and corruption commission.

The former judge, who lead a landmark inquiry into corruption in the Queensland government in 1989, will chair a commission of inquiry into aspects of the CCC.

But the Opposition says the inquiry should have the powers of a Royal Commission and it doesn’t go far enough.

Asked about the terms of reference and if they could be widened, Ms Fentiman responded it would be up to Mr Fitzgerald.

“Well that’s a matter for him, obviously,” she told Neil Breen.

“If he believes that there does need to be further investigation, I mean it’s Tony Fitzgerald, I don’t think he will hold back, Neil.”

She said the issues raised, including the allegation the outgoing Integrity Commissioner Nikola Stepanov’s laptop had been wiped, were the subject of investigations.

Ms Fentiman also addressed some of the criticisms levelled at the government by former state archivist Mike Summerell, who is calling for an inquiry into government integrity.

“In relation to the former archivist, I want to say again everything in his report was investigated years ago, by the CCC.

“He was offered an extension, he declined it, and isn’t it interesting that he is choosing now to raise these issues.

“We do not want public servants to feel like they cannot raise issues, since we have been in government, we have encouraged a strong, robust public service.”

Professor A.J Brown, a Griffith University integrity and anti-corruption expert, explained the two specific issues the commission of inquiry will investigate.

He said he hoped the review could also be a “good health check” on anything else wrong with the system.
