COMMENT: The people of Ipswich and Brisbane will be forever grateful to Hedley Thomas for his brilliant investigative journalism over the serious flaws in the evidence being presented to the Queensland Floods Commission in 2011. Whatever the outcome of any planned legal class action, at least the truth bubbled to the surface in the final days of the Commission's hearings - something Seqwater strove to avoid. - PaulGTully@gmail.com
