FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Queensland’s cabinet secretary says the state opposition is free to release secret cabinet documents related to the Queensland Health payroll bungle, despite Labor’s claim its hands are tied.
Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk made an “unprecedented” move on Monday to release legal advice the former government received two and a half years ago on whether computer giant IBM, which was contracted to design the payroll system, was liable for the disaster.
She said that under the rules set out in the cabinet handbook and by the cabinet secretary, Health Minister Lawrence Springborg would only be able to view the documents in the presence of the cabinet secretary and the crown solicitor.
He would not be able to take notes or speak about the contents with a third party.
Ms Palaszczuk said her hands were tied and she could not fully release the documents.
“These are the guidelines set by the cabinet handbook,” she told ABC Radio on Tuesday.
“They’re not set by me. They’re not set by the LNP, (and) they’re not set by the Labor Party.”
But an email on July 17 from Cabinet Secretary Anthony Crack to opposition chief of staff Angela MacDonagh says the conditions can be changed.
“In my view, the leader of the opposition can vary any of these terms up to and including allowing public disclosure of documents if she wishes,” Mr Crack said in the email, given to AAP by the government.
Mr Springborg urged the release of the information in full.
“The taxpayers and the health workers of Queensland have been led on a very merry dance in recent weeks by the leader of the opposition,” he said in parliament on Tuesday.
The March 2010 rollout of a new payroll system at Queensland Health has so far led to more than 50,000 staff being overpaid more than $90 million.
