Queensland's corruption watchdog is taking its legal fight over a report into the state's former public trustee to the High Court of Australia.
The CCC Chair said it was an integral function of the CCC to report the outcomes and lessons learned from corruption investigations
The Queensland Court of Appeal decision — which was handed down earlier this month – will prevent a CCC report which investigated allegations of corrupt conduct against Mr Carne from being released. "If the Carne decision was to stand then there would definitely be concerns about what we would be able to do in the future in terms of being open and transparent about our investigations," he said.
"There is a very important trend, and one that we agree with, in terms of more openness and transparency," he said.
