First, the debacle involving a
new pay system which
did not manage to pay many Queensland Health workers, then the mixed up pay scandal of $80M of overpayments which the Qld State Government has just announced it will
pursue the overpayees. The piece de resistance seemed to have been the
embezzlement of $16M, yes, you read correctly that's sixteen million dollars.
But no, oh, no. It's not.
Anna Bligh, after a few
days hours of deep thought (read: panic!!), has announced the carefully planned action to be taken to sort out Queensland Health.
Queensland Health is to be abolished and instead two entities will be created to look after Queensland Health. Noone will lose their job. (I'll bet there will be a few consultancy jobs created by this ridiculous knee-jerk action!)
February won't be soon enough for a state election in Queensland.
Stick a fork in, they're done!
