Queensland government in ‘integrity crisis’ over alleged undisclosed affair between two ministers, opposition says
Queensland's opposition has accused the LNP government of an integrity crisis over an alleged undisclosed relationship between ministers Tim Mander and Amanda Camm. The ministers state they began their relationship after the LNP took office in 2024 and followed proper declaration procedures. However, a letter from Mander's sister-in-law suggests the relationship may have started earlier, raising questions about potential conflicts of interest.
- ▪Tim Mander and Amanda Camm say their personal relationship began in June 2025, after they were sworn in as ministers.
- ▪Mander claims he sought advice from the Integrity Commissioner and followed the Ministerial Code of Conduct regarding declarations.
- ▪A letter from Mander’s sister-in-law alleges the relationship began at least two years prior, which would mean it overlapped with their time as ministers.
- ▪The Crisafulli government relocated 2032 Olympic sailing events from Mander’s portfolio area to Camm’s electorate.
- ▪Deputy opposition leader Cameron Dick has called for the release of integrity advice and conflict of interest plans related to the ministers.
