A second complaint against him was also referred to the conduct review panel in December over an exchange between Cr Griffiths and LNP councillor Angela Owen at an event in October.

He said the referrals were a "very political strategy".

"It's a manipulation of the Councillor Code of Conduct process that the LNP have appointed the CEO, who then determines code of conduct [reviews]," Cr Griffiths said.

"It's not independent of a political process."

Complaints made against sitting Brisbane councillors are referred to the chief executive's office for assessment and, if found to be worthy of further investigation, are referred to the conduct review panel.

After the March 28 election, Brisbane council complaints will be handled by the Office of the Independent Assessor, which handles conduct complaints statewide.

Late last year, Labor referred Cr Owen to Mr Jensen's office, claiming she had misused her council-issued Cabcharge card for personal use.

When asked of the status of that complaint, a council spokeswoman said on Wednesday the council "does not make comment on individual Councillor Conduct Review Panel (CCRP) matters".
