A directive was last week issued by Treasurer Andrew Fraser's office to staff within the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation.

Obtained by The Courier-Mail, the email asks staff to compile lists of potentially "good media opps" in certain electorates.

All 25 electorates were Labor-held seats, including Mr Fraser's own electorate of Mount Coot-tha.

"Can you please have a chat with the relevant areas in your department to see if there are any good media opps within the following electorates in the near future?" the email states.

A spokesman for Mr Fraser said the email was sent by a junior officer, but insisted there was nothing out of the ordinary in seeking media opportunities.

"It is not unusual for an officer to prepare for a visit by the minister," he said. "Such requests are made when a minister is visiting non-held electorates also."

However, Opposition deputy leader Tim Nicholls said the email showed the Government thought the public service was there to do Labor's bidding.

"While public servants are being tasked with party political requests from Anna Bligh and Andrew Fraser's offices, 155,000 Queenslanders are out of work, Government debt is heading towards $85 billion, and the cost of living continues to spiral out of control," he said.

Meanwhile, LNP leader Campbell Newman yesterday released a list of his personal interests after demands from the Government.

Mr Fraser said that by having a leader outside of Parliament, the LNP was circumventing Fitzgerald-inquiry reforms requiring MPs to fill out the pecuniary interests register.

"If he wants to sit in the big chair, then his own business interests are a legitimate matter for public knowledge," he said.

Mr Newman said details of his personal affairs had been available throughout his time as Brisbane's lord mayor.

The council register, released by Mr Newman, showed he owns a consultancy business and private company.

He also accepted gifts of wine, tickets to singer Michael Buble and a boxed ship on a stand etched in solid gold.
