Public Trustee to be overseen by new board under proposed laws in Queensland
Eight months after a scathing report into Queensland's Public Trustee, the state government has introduced legislation to establish an advisory board for the office.
The Public Advocate raised concerns about a range of practices that "fell short" of the Public Trustee's legal and fiduciary duties in a report that was tabled in Parliament in March.
The report documented fees for no services, high fees for asset-rich pensioners and multiple charges for managing the same funds for things like superannuation.
