| Brisbane River flood January 2011 |
THE Queensland Flood Commission suggested dam operators should face a CMC inquiry in its findings released this morning.
The report said the CMC should look at whether the three engineers misled the flood inquiry in oral and written testimony.
It should also investigate a brief given to the Water Minister Stephen Robertson, and a flood event report from March 2 last year.
The CMC should be looking for evidence of offences against the Criminal Code, and/or official misconduct committed by any or all of them.
Councillor Paul Tully said the recommendations proved there are grounds for flood victims to join a class action law suit against the Queensland Government.
"Today's report suggests Wivenhoe Dam could have been better managed, laying the basis for a multi-billion dollar negligence claim against the dam operators and the government," he said.
