Talk:Leisha Harvey

Additional information for article
Here is some additional research to be considered for the article: In January 2000, Premier Peter Beattie let it be known that would consider retrospective legislation to repossess the government pensions (superannuations) of those officials such as Harvey jailed for official misconduct.(ref)Greber, Jacob. (Jan. 24, 2000). The Courier-Mail. Premier may act on D'Arcy payout Pg. 1(/ref) In November 2000, Premier Beattie released the superannuation issues that would be addressed a four-member panel, however some suspected that the timing of the release to be politically mischievous.(ref) Herde, Chris. (Nov. 13, 2000). Australian Associated Press. Convicted national MPS could be dragged in super review. (writing, "Mr Beattie denied he was being "mischievous" in bringing up in a news conference the Fitzgerald Inquiry names of former National Party MPs Geoff Muntz, Leisha Harvey, Brian Austin, and Don Lane.").(/ref) In response to Liberal Party leaflets distributed at Queensland railway stations questioning Beattie ethics, Premier Beattie brandished a copy of the Queensland Parliament's 1988 handbook in a December 2000 press conference and stated, "The handbook lists Mr Borbidge as a cabinet minister, along with Leisha Harvey, Geoff Muntz and Brian Austin who were convicted of various charges including fraud and misappropriation of funds in the wake of the Fitzgerald Inquiry. I could say Mr Borbidge sat in a cabinet with corrupt people. People in glass houses shouldn't be hypocrites."(ref)Adam, Barbara. (Dec. 6, 2000). Australian Associated Press. Libs preparing for dirty tricks campaign, Beattie warns.(/ref)

In June 2003, Harvey's seven months in home detention for a twelve month jail sentence was brought in a Court of Appeal sentence reduction hearing for Diane Fingleton, an imprisoned Queensland Chief Magistrate who challenged her 12-month prison sentence.(ref) Klotz, Suzanne. (June 13, 2003). Australian Associated Press.  Public humiliation should reduce jail, court told.(/ref)

Despite her conviction, history appears to be favoring her status as a Queensland women parliamentary pioneer.(ref)McCulloch, John. (May 1, 2005). Hecate (publisher). Six Queensland women parliamentary pioneers. Volume 31; Issue 1, page 160.(/ref)(ref)The Courier-Mail. (Oct. 18, 2005).
