Labor backbencher Jim Madden has been cleared of wrongdoing after an investigation into allegations of misusing taxpayer funds to buy artwork.
The claims were detailed in a letter from Queensland's clerk of parliament Neil Laurie to Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and related to the purchase of three photographs at a school auction.
Mr Laurie said the investigation established the West Ipswich MP purchased three pieces of artwork, including one that was given to a third party and later retrieved.
He said that the photographs were "by default paid for by the member personally" and were valued at $185 in total.
"I have found the complaint is not substantiated," Mr Laurie wrote in a letter tabled in parliament on Friday.
"No misuse of the (Electorate and Communications Allowance) as particularised above has been established."
He said the outcome of the probe did not warrant a notification to the Crime and Corruption Commission, however an officer from the commission had been in touch following media reports.
"Under the (communications allowance) guidelines, members can purchase items like paintings, photographs or memorabilia for fund raising purposes by local schools or organisations and claim it against the Allowance," Mr Laurie said.
