Ken Levy hits back at committee investigating him The acting chair of the Crime and Misconduct Commission has written to the Queensland Parliament to express his "disappointment" with the parliamentary committee charged with investigating him. Attorney-General Jarrod Belijie tabled Ken Levy's statement just after 6.30pm on Thursday. In it, Dr Levy goes to pains to place on the public record his "disappointment" he was not provided the "courtesy" to respond to contradictions between the statements he and the head of Premier Campbell Newman's media unit, Lee Anderson, made during PCMC hearings earlier this month. The PCMC was investigating whether Dr Levy had misled it over contact he and his office had with government media units before the publication of an opinion piece in the Courier Mail on October 31. Dr Levy told the committee he had not spoken with anyone in the government before the piece was published. He later wrote to the committee to amend the record and said the premier's media team had been in contact with his office. But testimony given by Mr Anderson to the PCMC, made public overnight, revealed Dr Levy had also sought and attended a meeting with Mr Anderson prior to his piece's publication, and discussed which journalist it would be best for him to speak to. The opposition used the transcript revelations to call for a judicial inquiry and for Dr Levy to be removed from his position. The government has continued to support Dr Levy, with Mr Bleijie renewing his attacks on Labor MPs Jo-Ann Miller and Jackie Trad and independent MP Peter Wellington, over what he said was their bias against Dr Levy. Dr Levy said having Ms Miller - who had worked under him in the Justice Department in the 1990s - sitting on the committee raised questions. "The fact that one of the members of the PCMC is the Member for Bundamba, a former junior public servant in the Department of Justice who I was responsible for, and whose performance was the subject of my consideration, raised in my mind, questions about potential conflict and bias," he wrote. He said that he believed the PCMC "had determined its view before it had heard from me. I was of the view that I was being subjected to a biased and procedurally unsound process. Dr Levy said he was never contacted by the Premier, Attorney-General "or in fact any parliamentary member of the government" about his article before it ran, nor did he seek any advice "from any person in the government about the contents of the article" nor was it vetted before it was published. "From the beginning the article was my idea alone, and its composition was my work alone," he wrote. ..."The only contact I had with "the government" was to seek advice on the best means of contacting a responsible journalist so my views could be broadcast in an appropriate and non-sensationalist manner. In short, my contacts with non-CMC staff were cursory and designed merely to ensure that I could be assisted in a purely facilitatory manner. The reason that I sought assistance was that my senior media advisor was absent from work at the time due to a tragic family circumstance. In his absence I was seeking the advice of a senior journalist so that my views could be broadcast in a responsible manner. Dr Levy said he had initially erred when answering a question on whether he had any contact with the government, as he misinterpreted what "government" meant and assumed it referred to ministers. He said while he corrected that error in his November 4 letter to the committee, he did not include his subsequent contact with Mr Anderson, "because nothing transpired in the sense of any attempt to deal with the substance of my article or to suggest what I should say." The discussions were short, procedural and had nothing to do with the substance of what I said. Dr Levy said he took his role as acting CMC chair "very seriously" and had not been and would not be swayed by either the government of the day or political considerations. The PCMC has referred the Dr Levy investigation to the parliamentary ethics committee.
