Once The Public Trustees Office was formed to help post-war time families in need. It has grown to become a series of institutions that help themselves while hidden from public oversight.
Key points:
- A bombshell 2021 report finds the Public Trustee is pushing some people into poverty with unreasonable fees
- The Trustee releases a separate review which recommends it charge clients more in annual fees
- The Queensland Attorney-General says she’s scrapping two specific fees “for good” but the Public Trustee website shows those fees are just on hold
