DNA TESTING LAB INQUIRY FARCE ADDS INSULT TO COMMON SENSE INJURY

To have a taxpayer funded inquiry into the DNA lab testing debacle, only to have no individual found to be responsible for anything which contributed to it, doesn't even come close to passing the pub test of sensibility. 

It's one big farce. As if someone did not do something very wrong to allow the situation to develop whereby gross breaches of protocol were ignored and were not brought to the attention of Queensland Health bosses and even the Crime and Corruption Commission. 

It seems plain and obvious that many more than one person contributed to the both the debacle playing out and covering it up, when they had the means and recourse to bring it to the attention of their hierarchy. 

Now Queensland is beset with an abominable legacy of having hundreds of criminal cases, and convictions, in legal limbo, all because of absolutely hairbrained austerity to cut a relatively measly $1 million or thereabouts from the budget of the DNA testing lab in question.

Queenslanders have every right to feel let down badly by not only the DNA lab bungle that ate up their taxes and has compromised a myriad amount of criminal cases, but also this useless and clearly misdirected inquiry which didn't find any anyone guilty of anything. Who smells a big dead rat? If you don't you need to blow your nose.
