Queensland's opposition leader is still raising concerns about a laptop after a corruption probe found no wrongdoing in relation to the device.
The Crime and Corruption Commission found that the removal and reimaging of the computer from the lobbyist watchdog's office last year was "unremarkable".
Opposition Leader David Crisafulli had claimed public servants "raided" Integrity Commissioner Nikola Stepanov's office and "seized" the laptop before "wiping" it.
However, the CCC probe found that the laptop was backed up and reimaged for a new employee and no data had been leaked or lost.
The government has since called for Mr Crisafulli to apologise, but he's doubled down.
"I still want to know what was on that laptop, and I think Queenslanders also want to know," he told reporters on Thursday.
The Liberal National Party leader said he was also concerned about other parts of the CCC report.
The watchdog questioned the "ongoing suitability" of the Department of Premier and Cabinet providing IT services for the Integrity Commissioner.
The CCC also pointed out that public service bosses still had control of the staff and budget of the lobbyist watchdog.
Mr Crisafulli said the Integrity Commissioner must be fully "uncoupled" from the government and public service.
The reason Dr Stepanov complained about the laptop to the CCC, he said, was because public service bosses failed to take action.
"She was unable to get that matter resolved so sought to take it to the CCC and yesterday the premier of this state basically called her a liar," the opposition leader said.
"And I'm not sure that a whistleblower who's coming forward expressing her concerns about the way she's treated deserves that language thrown at her by the premier."
Dr Stepanov finished up in the role on Sunday, with barrister Mark Glen to act in the role while the government recruits a permanent replacement.
Meanwhile, a lobbyist has praised the premier for banning him from seeking to influence her government.
Annastacia Palaszczuk earlier this week barred lobbyists Evan Moorhead, Cameron Milner and David Nelson from lobbying her ministers and public servants before voters go to the polls in 2024.
The move followed a review by Professor Peter Coaldrake, which recommended all lobbyists be banned from working on election campaigns - something Mr Moorhead and Mr Milner did for Ms Palaszczuk and Labor in 2020.
Critics branded her move as "sneaky" because colleagues will still be able to lobby the Palaszczuk government in the meantime.
Mr Milner, a former Labor state secretary, praised the premier's decision to ban him and implement other recommendations from the review, saying acting on Prof Coaldrake's recommendations will improve transparency and government accountability.
"Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk should be lauded for committing to implementing the review's recommendations in their entirety and to the letter," he wrote in The Australian on Thursday.
"Queenslanders, having received such an insightful report from Coaldrake, will be watching to ensure the report and all its recommendations are implemented in full and that governments have equally learnt a new approach to delivering on the trust that we the citizens place in them."
