Secret Costello report still not public


The Premier and Treasurer received the final Costello Audit report on February 28 and it is still not publicly available.
In State Parliament the Opposition asked the LNP Government to rule out using the secret report to sell or lease Queensland’s electricity generation assets, privatise hospitals and outsource hospital services such as pathology and pharmacy services in public hospitals.
The Premier refused to answer these questions but did state that "only a few of the Costello audit recommendations are about asset sales."
However, we know the final Costello report will be a made-to-order excuse for mass privatisations of our public assets and we know the LNP Government have already begun this process by privatising services such as health through outsourcing.
We have already seen the Treasurer Tim Nicholls arrogantly strike a secret deal to sell seven government buildings in the Brisbane CBD with seeking the mandate he and the Premier said they needed.
