after Olympics Minister Tim Mander stepped aside over electoral enrolment allegations. Queensland Premier David Crisafulli has defended former Olympics Minister Tim Mander after the minister stood aside following a referral to the Australian Federal Police (AFP). The referral relates to allegations that Mander may have incorrectly enrolled to vote at an address where he did not reside. Crisafulli said he only learned about the referral through media reports during a budget meeting and would wait for the AFP to determine whether any further action is required. Minister Andrew Powell has temporarily assumed the Olympics and sport portfolios as the government faces mounting scrutiny ahead of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games.
