00:11The Krissafulli LNP government's integrity crisis continues to get murkier by the day.
00:15David Krissafulli welcoming former Minister Tim Mander's decision to step down from Cabinet.
00:21The member for Everton's decision on Thursday, coming after the electoral watchdog referred him to Federal Police
00:28over his voting enrolment status.
00:31It claimed there was an absence of evidence Tim Mander lived at the address he was enrolled at.
00:37He's assured me that he's been truthful and now it's up to the AFP to investigate that.
00:43And I think that's a fair and reasonable process.
00:45But the Premier says he didn't know about the referral at an event early on Thursday.
00:51Yesterday I was sharing a sausage with you and a horse in the morning.

01:15when he'd been referred to the Australian Federal Police.

01:28resolved.
01:29It's unclear how long Environment and Tourism Minister Andrew Powell will be saddled with the racing, sport and Olympic and

01:39How long is this going to go on for and how long are we going to have an acting minister
01:42when the games need to be delivered?
01:46Front benches refusing to weigh in on the integrity saga.
01:50The Premier has made a comment about this.
01:52I'll refer you to his comments.
01:54I've got literally nothing else to add to that.
01:57No, no, no.
01:59So, we have a handful of parents.
01:59Now we are they're going to encourage people to 12 minutes.
