Yeronga homeowner Dr Shaun McCrystal.
A frustrated Brisbane homeowner has taken aim at the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) after he says it refused to investigate a five-year delay to resolve serious misconduct allegations about the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC).
Dr Shaun McCrystal has waged a lengthy battle with oversight and integrity agencies, sparked by concerns the QBCC allegedly ignored and covered-up complaints that its staff allowed an unlicensed, bankrupt and industry-excluded person to construct apartment blocks which are fire-hazards too close to his Yeronga home.
In 2016, then Shadow Attorney-General Ian Walker first notified the CCC of McCrystal’s plight.
The CCC declined to investigate citing an existing review by the Ombudsman.
