CALLIDE INVESTIGATOR BLOCKED FROM INTERVIEWING KEY PLAYERS

16th August 2024

Statement from Deb Frecklington - Shadow Minister for Energy

Serious questions for Cameron Dick and Mick de Brenni

Queenslanders today will be deeply concerned and shocked following revelations Dr Sean Brady was blocked from speaking to key witnesses while undertaking his investigation into the Callide power plant explosion. 

Queenslanders are paying more for energy because of Labor's failures to maintain the power plant. 

The obstruction of Dr Brady's pursuit of the truth is an insult to families and small businesses dealing with soaring power bills. 

Today the Treasurer and Energy Minister must confirm whether or not they willingly participated in the Brady Review.

And if not, why not?

They are the shareholding Ministers responsible for this debacle. 

Their cuts to maintenance funding led to the explosion that resulted in Queenslanders' power bills soaring. 

Today the Palaszczuk-Miles Government must explain why Dr Brady was blocked from speaking to key players in this sorry saga.
