A third of Queensland public servants say they have witnessed corruption in their workplace in the last five years, according to a survey by the state’s anti-corruption watchdog.

However, the state’s Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) investigated fewer than 1% of complaints referred to it, and has only charged a single person with a corruption offence in a year, it revealed in parliament this week.
