Home of disgraced former Queensland minister Gordon Nuttall sold to pay debt THE home of disgraced and jailed former minister Gordon Nuttal will go to auction. Clerk of Parliament Neil Laurie told State Parliament he had recently received $15,000 as a pro-rata payment from the proceeds of the sale of Mr Nuttall's assets. "This means to date $31,000 of the $82,000 fine has been paid," Mr Laurie said. He said the sale of Mr Nuttall's home was pending. "The public trustee has advised that Mr Nuttall's Sandgate property was to be auctioned on February 16, 2013, however the property was affected by flooding that occurred during the Australia Day weekend," Mr Laurie said. Prosecutors threatened star witness: Nuttall Repairs to the property have now been completed and the property will be auctioned. Once settlement of the property has been affected, the balance of the debt owing to the Parliament will be paid in full. Nuttall was fined by the Parliament in 2011 for contempt over failing to declare payments he secretly received from wealthy businessmen. He was given 12 months to pay the fine but missed that deadline. An attempt to have the payment excused failed.
