Former One Nation senator Rod Culleton's woes have shown no sign of abating, with the Queensland Police Service confirming it was still dealing with allegations he attempted to pervert the course of justice and threatened a Cairns magistrate.
Queensland Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath referred Mr Culleton to Police Commissioner Ian Stewart in November, asking he be investigated over a letter sent to a Cairns magistrate on November 15.
In that letter, then-Senator Culleton requested a matter before the court be adjourned, which Queensland Chief Magistrate Ray Rinaudo then referred to Ms D'Ath.
"The Chief Magistrate expressed concern that the contents of the correspondence from Senator Culleton could amount to an attempt to pervert the course of justice, and threatening a judicial officer," Ms D'Ath said in a November 23 statement.
On Tuesday, a Queensland Police Service spokeswoman said there had been "no change" in the investigation since November.
"The matter is still being assessed," she said.
Mr Culleton, who still used the title "senator" despite being officially removed from Parliament last week, declined to comment.
In November, then-Senator Culleton said he rejected "any suggestion that he threatened any officer of any court or attempted to pervert the course of justice" and the letter had been written "in good faith and in the interest of justice".
Mr Culleton resigned from One Nation last month, in a move welcomed by party leader Pauline Hanson.
Senator Hanson said Mr Culleton was a "pain in the backside" she was glad to see the back of.
