Nuttall's house to be auctioned Gordon Nuttall's Brisbane home will be auctioned so he can pay fines for contempt of parliament. FORMER Queensland MP Gordon Nuttall's home will be auctioned to pay the final debt he owes the state. He's serving a 14-year sentence for perjury and receiving $150,000 in payments from a businessman in return for helping him secure government contracts. Parliament found Nuttall guilty of 41 instances of contempt in May 2011 and he was fined $82,000 for not declaring the payments. Clerk of the parliament Neil Laurie said so far Mr Nuttall has only paid $31,000 of his debt. He says the Public Trustee has advised that Nuttall's Sandgate home will be auctioned. It had originally been scheduled for auction in February this year, but it was damaged in the floods. Mr Laurie said repairs have been completed. "Once settlement of the property has been affected, the balance of the debt owing to the parliament will be paid in full," he told parliament.
