Queensland’s embattled Olympics Games minister, Tim Mander, has stepped aside, after being referred to the Australian federal police over claims he may have committed a “potential criminal offence” when he allegedly enrolled to vote at a staffer’s home address last year without living there.
Mander, the sport and Olympics minister, has been under intensifying political pressure in recent weeks, since The Australian reported allegations that he registered to vote at the home of an electorate officer in Brisbane’s northern suburbs.
