Disgraced former Queensland MP Scott Driscoll has been convicted on 15 fraud-related charges.
The former LNP member for Redcliffe was due to face trial next week for fraud-related charges stemming from his time as head of a retail lobby group.
But Mr Driscoll this morning pleaded guilty to the charges in the Brisbane District Court.
Mr Driscoll, 40, falsified meeting minutes of the Queensland Retail Traders and Shopkeepers Association and took secret commissions while with the group.
He was shaking in the dock as head pleaded guilty to each charge.
The court heard he had been seeing a psychologist.
He will be sentenced next year.
Mr Driscoll won Redcliffe for the LNP in 2012 but became an independent when the party lost confidence in him in March 2013.
More to come.
