Queensland’s Crime and Corruption Commission examined alleged improper disclosure from the Integrity Commissioner’s office, removal of laptops and protection of confidential information.
The CCC found no evidence that an executive officer disclosed confidential information by email or that it had been disclosed by other means.
The CCC concluded that collecting two laptops and reimaging one was ordinary administration and that descriptions of a raid and seizure misrepresented events.

The CCC identified longstanding security vulnerabilities but concluded that the events had exposed, rather than exploited, them.
Its closing recommendations concern prioritising sensitive information when extending access-log retention and reviewing security arrangements, alongside support for broader governance changes.
In the body's own words
- Finding
Having investigated this issue, the CCC found no evidence that the Executive Officer had disclosed confidential information by email.
- Conclusion
In light of the above, the commentary which has suggested that laptops were ‘seized’ and ‘wiped’ as a result of a ‘raid’ on the Integrity Commissioner’s offices is, in the CCC’s view, a mischaracterisation of what occurred.
- Conclusion
Ultimately this investigation did not reveal any particular concerns about the security of information held by the Integrity Commissioner.
Findings and recommendations
Allegations are not findings. A commission's finding or opinion of corrupt conduct or misconduct is not a finding that a person is guilty of a criminal offence, and the commissions say so in their reports.
No findings or recommendations are reproduced in this record. This does not establish that the report contains none.
Published responses
No published response was found.
Coverage
This publisher
- Reports from 1991 to about 2011 are listed on the CCC site but many pages link no report document; those records carry the page summary only, with findings and recommendations not extracted.
- Scanned reports without a text layer are not OCR'd; their findings and recommendations are not extracted.
- Findings and opinions are not extracted except where a report states it makes no finding about any person (section 48B of the Crime and Corruption Act 2001). Pre-2025 reports state outcomes in narrative form, which is not converted into findings.
- Recommendations are extracted only from a complete numbered run; reports that number recommendations differently, or set them inside narrative chapters only, are marked not_extracted.
- Government responses are recorded where the CCC report or public hearing page links one; the responses themselves (often Queensland Parliament tabled papers or ministerial statements) are linked, not fetched.
- The 1989 Fitzgerald Inquiry report, which the CCC hosts, is a commission of inquiry report and is not included here.
