FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Deputy Premier Andrew Fraser says new information emerging from the Queensland flood inquiry will not hurt his party in the lead-up to the state election.
The inquiry has come under fire after it was alleged deputy commissioner Phillip Cummins had a conflict of interest.
Mr Cummins stood down from the inquiry after it was revealed he was an associate of Australian Dams Water Consulting, which had been hired by Seqwater to sit on a committee to review technical work in connection with the Wivenhoe manual.
The inquiry is being held in Brisbane to investigate allegations that the four engineers who controlled Wivenhoe Dam botched the water releases, caused unnecessary flooding and misled the inquiry over what water release strategies they were working under.
Despite the controversy surrounding the inquiry, Mr Fraser insists Queenslanders will not judge the Labor government harshly because of it when they hit the polls on March 24.
“I think that’s a matter for the people of Queensland to judge, but I think they’ll judge us as a government that set up an inquiry with all the powers to find the truth, who put the interests of Queenslanders first,’’ he said.
Mr Fraser insisted the government was more concerned with answers than votes.
‘‘This inquiry was set up to find the truth,’’ he said. ‘‘We’ve always been interested in the truth, which has never been about politics.’’
Mr Fraser said the government maintained full confidence in commissioner Justice Cate Holmes.
‘‘She has demonstrated her fierce independence to the people of Queensland and the government continues to have confidence in that independence,’’ he said.
The inquiry was on Sunday extended by four extra days, bringing the extension of sitting days to 11.
