He oversaw the rebranding of organisation and expanded its membership footprint and political influence beyond Queensland and onto a national level. Political career Driscoll was elected to the Legislative Assembly at the 2012 state election representing the Liberal National Party of Queensland in the Brisbane-area seat of Redcliffe. He defeated Labor incumbent Lillian van Litsenburg with a swing of 15.67%, turning the previously marginal seat into a safe LNP seat. Driscoll was the subject of complaints to the Crime and Misconduct Commission in November 2012, followed by complaints of fraud to the Queensland Police. Though after thorough and extended CMC and Queensland Police investigations resulting in no grounds being found to justify any charges in this regard, it was alleged by Driscoll's rivals that he secretly controlled the taxpayer-funded Moreton Bay Regional Community Association and had funnelled $2600 in consultancy fees each week to his wife. It was also claimed that he used his electorate office to continue his work with the Queensland Retail Traders and Shopkeepers Association, and that his wife had a contract with the retailers' body worth $350,000 a year. Although Premier Campbell Newman initially stood by Driscoll, he personally recommended that Driscoll be suspended from the LNP after concluding his failure to provide a "fulsome and precise" explanation of the affair had become a distraction. On 25 March 2013, he was suspended from the LNP. After the LNP executive initiated proceedings to have him expelled from the party, Driscoll resigned from the party the following month and subsequently sat as an independent. His home was raided by the CMC in May 2013. Driscoll's wife was charged with fraud and perjury as a result of the investigation. The misconduct allegations were referred to the Queensland Parliament Ethics Committee in June 2013. On 19 November 2013, Driscoll was found guilty of 42 counts of contempt of Parliament, four counts of failing to register interests and one count of misleading the
