The four Labor members send their apologies ahead of the Parliamentary Crime and Corruption Committee meeting, but it means a quorum can not be reached and the meeting is adjourned.
Labor MPs failed to turn up to a parliamentary committee meeting to vote on whether to release the corruption watchdog's legal costs in the Jackie Trad court case, in a move the opposition has condemned as "extraordinary".
The chair of the PCCC, LNP MP Jon Krause, told reporters it was "disappointing the government members haven't seen fit to show up to integrity matters in Queensland". The watchdog has provided its Parliamentary oversight committee with details of its legal bills so far, but Labor's committee members opposed releasing it because the matter was ongoing.
That meeting was postponed until today, with Mr Krause saying he "would have consulted with other members of the committee about a new meeting time".
