On Wednesday, the leash was loosened.  And Mr Seeney pounced.

Having faced questions from Opposition MPs Tim Mulherin and Curtis Pitt about an apparent conflict of interest between campaign strategists Crosby Textor's clients and its work for the government, Mr Seeney took to the floor following question time to take the MPs to task.

Mr Mulherin and Mr Pitt had inferred during question time that Crosby Textor, were lobbying the government over casinos, at the same time as advising it.

Mr Seeney relished the opportunity to prove them right. And wrong.

"Since our government embarked on a process to allocate gaming licences, I as the minister responsible have been particularly concerned about probity issues. I was somewhat perplexed at the aspersions that were included within two questions from the Opposition today, in regards to Crosby Textor and their role as a lobbyist for one of the gaming [project] proponents.

"I sought from the Queensland Integrity Commissioner the records relating to Crosby Textor, or relating to registered lobbyists, and I can confirm Crosby Textor is indeed a registered lobbyist.

"And the current third party client details for Crosby Textor include, amongst of a list of about 10 or 12 clients, Crown Developments Pty Ltd.

"I suspect, I take it from the reaction of the Opposition, that this is the source, or the reason for their question today.  Can I inform the house, that Crown Developments Pty Ltd is a local New South Wales developer of apartment buildings."

Mr Seeney then went on to give the business's address in Newtown and its phone number.

"They are not related in any way shape or form to Crown Resorts, who are one of the applicants for the gaming licences.

"I think the Opposition should step outside and dial [the business's phone number] and apologise to Crown Developments Pty Ltd.  I think the Opposition should step outside and dial Len Scanlan, the probity advisor, and apologise to him as well.

"Len Scanlan, for those members who haven't been here very long, Len Scanlan was an auditor-general under a number of governments.  He is highly respected...Len Scanlan would be one of the most honest men in Queensland, one of the most highly respected men in Queensland.

"It is also pertinent that today, the leader of the Opposition also tabled office expenses for the Opposition.  The Opposition was able to pay $2.429 million in salaries over the last six months.  Almost $5 million in public money is given to this Opposition to employ staff, to do the sort of research that has taken our staff about three minutes to do.  About three minutes to do."

Government staffers and MPs took advantage of the gaffe and hit social media with variations of "Queenslanders deserve better than an Opposition that can't even do a simple Google search."

On that issue, Labor MPs did not engage.
