The CCC alleged Malcolm Stamp dishonestly arranged for his daughter to be given a communication job with Queensland's largest public hospital service, of which he was the chief executive.
The former boss of Queensland's largest public hospital service has returned to Australia to face corruption charges in relation to an alleged nepotism scandal more than seven years ago.
The CCC alleged in 2014 Mr Stamp dishonestly arranged for his daughter, Katy Stamp, to be given a media and communication services job with an annual salary of $80,000. He is now facing a committal hearing in Brisbane to determine whether there is enough evidence for him to stand trial on three charges, including corruptly soliciting valuable consideration to influence favour.Scott McMullen, who was the executive director of corporate services for Metro North and directly reported to Mr Stamp at the time, was the first witness to be called.
Under cross examination Mr McMullen was grilled by Mr Stamp's lawyer for giving different versions of events to investigators and was accused of lying about his boss' alleged involvement in the recruitment.Mr McMullen did admit he had misled investigators in his original statement, compared to what he later told the CCC, but claimed "it wasn't all lies".
