QLD:Govt denies gagging public servants
Queensland Premier ANNA BLIGH has denied her government has tried to gag emergency
volunteers involved with the state's flood inquiry.
Grantham rural fire brigade volunteer VIVIENNE JAMIESON told the inquiry yesterday
she felt under pressure to destroy a report about events before the deadly January 10
flood hit the Lockyer Valley west of Brisbane.
Other fire brigade volunteers have said government barristers turned up at a commission
interview and employees were told to consider the law on public servants speaking out.
The premier says she's ordered her director general to issue a memo to all public servants
making it clear they're free to speak to the inquiry.
