Answer

Bjelke-Petersen's administration came under scrutiny of a royal commission in 1987, after a series of scandals and corruption allegations. The commission found that Bjelke-Petersen had presided over a corrupt and authoritarian regime, and recommended that he be removed from office. The commission also found that the Queensland Police Force had been used to intimidate and harass political opponents of Bjelke-Petersen.
