Levy investigation suspended in Qld

AN investigation into whether the head of Queensland's corruption watchdog misled a parliamentary committee has been suspended.

Parliament's select ethics committee on Friday said it would wait until a police investigation into Dr Ken Levy was completed.

The committee was set up to consider whether Dr Levy misled another committee about what contact he had with the government before penning a newspaper article backing its controversial bikie laws.

Dr Levy has said the article was his idea, and no one from the government told him what to write.

But he's faced questions after failing to disclose that he met with the government's top media adviser Lee Anderson to discuss the article before it was published.

Dr Levy has denied any wrongdoing and remains the acting chair of the newly renamed Crime and Corruption Commission, formerly known as the Crime and Misconduct Commission.

The select ethics committee took over the Levy investigation after the government used its large majority to sack the entire Parliamentary Crime and Misconduct Committee (BECAME) in November last year.

The government said it had no choice because the BECAME had shown bias against Dr Levy, and allowing it's investigation to continue would not have been fair to him.
