Queensland’s Deputy Premier Steven Bleijie is facing scrutiny for withholding details surrounding a deal involving a Visy packaging site previously acquired by the state’s former Labor government. Bleijie has declined to disclose whether the land was sold or transferred as part of the agreement, citing ongoing negotiations. Opposition members have criticized the lack of transparency, questioning the financial implications for taxpayers. The site’s current status and the terms of the deal remain undisclosed, fueling speculation about potential conflicts of interest or unfavorable outcomes. Bleijie maintains that releasing information prematurely could jeopardize the final agreement. The lack of clarity has prompted calls for a full public accounting of the transaction once it is finalized. The deal’s specifics are considered commercially sensitive, according to the Deputy Premier.
