A QUEENSLAND MP who was expected to reveal to parliament the identities of people involved in one of Australia's worst mass murders has backed down.
In March 1973, 15 people died, mostly from suffocation, when two barrels of petrol were used to set the Whiskey Au Go Go nightclub on fire in Brisbane.
Although two men were convicted for the crime, independent MP Peter Wellington says he has new information which may spin the case on its head.
He was expected to reveal the information in parliament on Thursday, but said he had since realised he couldn't because he was a member of the Parliamentary Crime and Misconduct Committee.
"In light of possible action this committee may take as a result of this ongoing investigation, I am now no longer able to refer to this new information as originally intended in this chamber," he told parliament.
Mr Wellington said he instead intended to write to Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie about the new information, asking him to investigate as soon as possible.
Earlier, he told AAP he would reveal to parliament on Thursday afternoon people who were involved in the fire bombing.
Mr Wellington said he had hoped the move would put pressure on the government to reopen the coronial inquest.
"This new information needs to be heard," he said.
Mr Bleijie told ABC radio that Mr Wellington should go to police with the information instead of raising it in parliament.
