Qld Health payroll debacle report due A BLOW-BY-BLOW account of what lead to one of Australia's most expensive bureaucratic bungles will be released on Tuesday. The Liberal National Party government is expected to table in state parliament the final report into the $1.2 billion Queensland Health payroll debacle. Health Minister Lawrence Springborg wouldn't reveal on Monday whether possible criminal charges would be recommended or whether former Labor ministers would be held accountable. The $5 million inquiry, led by Richard Chesterman QC, examined why IBM won the contract to build the new payroll system in 2007 and whether it had an unfair advantage. "People will find a blow-by-blow description on how the previous Labor government really failed in basic corporate governance and this payroll system blew up into a billion dollar debacle," Mr Springborg said. I think people will clearly see what exactly went wrong. When the system went live in 2010, thousands of workers were underpaid, overpaid or not paid at all. The $6.19 million contract blew out and will ultimately cost Queensland taxpayers an estimated $1.2 billion.
