Consensus Summary

Police conducted a search of a Gold Coast apartment owned by Dr Vahid Reza Adib, partner of former Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, on 2026-04-30 at 11am. The raid, involving detectives and forensic officers, established a crime scene and removed items, though no charges have been laid. Ms Palaszczuk, who was promoting her memoir *The Politics of Being Me* at a Robina Library event that evening, stated she was unaware of the investigation. Both sources confirm the ongoing nature of the probe and her lack of direct involvement, though ABC notes she canceled a radio interview the following day. The property, located on Goodwin Terrace in Burleigh Heads, remains central to the inquiry, with no allegations of wrongdoing against either individual.
