Queensland premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has apologised after bringing her companion to an Olympic assembly in Sydney on Sunday.
Ms Palaszczuk maintained the gathering, consisting of members from the Worldwide Olympic Committee, the Australian Olympic Committee and the Lord Mayor was an "casual catch-up" following an official assembly on Saturday evening.
"Then, as a result of there have been various folks on the town, we had a catch-up on Sunday morning," Ms Palaszczuk stated.
"I recognise that I've made a mistake and I shouldn't have taken my companion to that assembly."
Ms Palaszczuk's companion, Dr Reza Adib attended the assembly on Sunday and was seen standing for group photographs and sitting at a board desk amongst key Olympic officers.
Deputy chief of the opposition Jarrod Bleijie stated the transfer was inappropriate.
"Nobody else had their companions on the assembly," he stated.
"Why was the premier's boyfriend granted a seat on the desk? He should not have been there."
The premier stated there was nothing confidential mentioned on the gathering that wasn't public information, with a number of extra conferences on the agenda to safe plans for the 2032 Brisbane video games.
"The Olympics is a gigantic alternative for this state... There are going to be loads of conferences," she stated.
"There will probably be conferences of the board, and there will probably be conferences with senior executives, and there will probably be in-depth discussions like we're having this week in Brisbane.
"My companion will probably be coming with me to completely different features, however he is not going to be coming to any conferences or catch-ups."
