This sort of conspiratorial coverup behaviour should be illegal.
THOUSANDS of internal documents obtained during investigations by Queensland's $15 million public inquiry into floods and the operation of Brisbane's Wivenhoe Dam are being withheld from public access and scrutiny for 30 years by the state government.
The controlling agency for the vast array of withheld documents and evidence is the Department of Justice and Attorney-General, which is also defending the government from a multi-billion-dollar damages claim being prepared by a class-action law firm on behalf of several thousand flood victims.***
