Today (13/12/12) the Queensland government announced an enquiry into the Queensland health payroll debacle. While this is truly a disgraceful series of events and probably led , inter alia, to the downfall of the Bligh government do we really want a $5 million dollar political slogfest. How many public servants would that money have kept in a job?
This enquiry will only provide the government ample fodder with which to fire at the severely depleted opposition. This isn't about seeing if they can recover money. The legal advice says as much.
This is politics pure and simple.
You won the election Premier. Move on and govern!
* The title in no way suggests that the Honourable Justice Richard Chesterman will conduct this enquiry in any way other than with propriety. He is a respected jurist. The motives are all that I question.
