FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A key figure involved in the handling of Queensland’s floods disaster has been called on to provide evidence at the inquiry by phone.
Ken Smith headed Premier Anna Bligh’s department at the time of the disaster and is now based in London.
Questions were asked when the former director-general of the Department of Premier and Cabinet was called upon to provide only a written statement to the inquiry.
This was despite media reports that he’d received crucial information about the operation of Wivenhoe Dam two days before Brisbane flooded.
Evidence has emerged that Mr Smith received an email from the SEQ WaterGrid Manager on January 9 saying the dam was releasing water under a transitional strategy, rather than more rapid releases designed to protect urban areas.
The email was reportedly forwarded to the premier’s email address.
It contradicts Seqwater’s final report which said a higher release strategy was employed on January 8.
Mr Smith is expected to give evidence by phone at the floods inquiry as the last witness on Friday.
The inquiry has been extended until Wednesday after Commissioner Justice Cate Holmes granted an extra sitting day on Saturday.
The inquiry will not sit on Sunday and Monday, and will return on Tuesday and Wednesday for closing submissions.
The final report is due on March 16.
