Three years on and zero answers on Callide explosion

24th May 2024

Labor must release Brady Report

Three years on from the catastrophic explosion of the Callide C power plant, Queenslanders are still waiting for answers on how and why this major incident occurred.

In the aftermath of the extraordinary explosion, Minister de Brenni called on forensic engineer Dr Sean Brady to investigate what happened at Callide C, yet three years on, this report still has not been released.

Queenslanders are in the dark on what happened at Callide.

Labor has fought to keep the Callide report secret and is now attempting to hide behind lawyers’ robes to stop the truth getting out.

It has taken a Federal Court order to force the Palaszczuk-Miles Government to release their secret Callide report.

Whistleblowers have told the LNP a lack of maintenance caused the explosion which has driven-up power prices for Queenslanders.

Even the union is speaking out that there are major maintenance issues at Callide on this Government’s watch which are putting workers at risk.

Labor doesn’t want Queenslanders to know the truth.

Labor will do and say anything to cling to power, including fighting to keep the Brady Report secret.

Queenslanders deserve answers so we don’t have another power plant explode.

In 2023, Queenslanders had the highest power bill increases in the nation, 19.9%, three times the national average – all because Callide power plant was offline.

Queenslanders deserve the truth about what happened.

The Brady Report must be publicly released.
