Qld police minister sidesteps questions

Queensland Police Minister Jo-Ann Miller can't say why she hasn't stood aside while she's being investigated for misleading parliament.

Ms Miller is under investigation by the parliamentary Ethics Committee for allegedly failing to destroy confidential documents and signing an incorrect statement saying she had.

The minister was referred to the committee by her own government.

Ms Miller can't say why she has not resigned or stood aside during the investigation, or whether it's appropriate for her to remain in her position.

"As I've said, I'll be making no further comment in relation to parliamentary committee matters," the minister said.

Ms Miller was also unable to say whether Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk had personally told her she had confidence in her since the investigation began.

She was asked repeatedly, but could only say the premier had indicated she had confidence in all her ministers.

"She has made those comments publicly and I think it's very important that we together get on with the job of looking after Queenslanders," Ms Miller said.

"The premier and I are friends, we are colleagues, we have side-by-side electorates, we work very well together."

The minister has been under a cloud for months after a number of bungles.

She admitted an "error of judgment" in phoning a man who made allegations of fraud and harassment against Labor MP Rick Williams.

Ms Miller also copped flak over the announcement of the unpopular relocation of the Yamanto police communications centre.

She's also denied trying to unseat Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale, despite Deputy Mayor Victor Attwood's claims that she had.
