Newman warns ALP on new committee members QUEENSLAND Premier Campbell Newman says the Labor opposition will be judged harshly if it returns sacked MPs to a parliamentary committee. The Newman government used its huge majority to sack the entire Parliamentary Crime and Misconduct Committee last week. It said the sackings were necessary because Labor and independent MPs who sat on the committee were biased against the head of the state's corruption watchdog, Ken Levy. The committee had been investigating statements made by Dr Levy about his contact with the government before he wrote an article supporting the government's contentious new bikie laws. The government has already appointed four of its MPs to the replacement committee, but Labor is yet to say who it will put up. But the premier says the public will judge Labor very harshly if it tries to reinstall members of the sacked committee, including Jackie Trad and Jo-Ann Miller. He said they'd shown incredible bias against Dr Levy and had "tainted a very serious matter." "If they choose to do that then people will judge them poorly for it," he told the ABC. AAP has sought comment from Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk.
