Former Queensland Premier Anna Bligh Called Before Health Payroll Inquiry Former Queensland premier Anna Bligh. Former Queensland premier Anna Bligh will be called to give evidence at the Queensland Health Payroll System Commission of Inquiry. A spokeswoman for the inquiry said Ms Bligh has been summoned by the Brisbane-based inquiry and though there is no exact date for her appearance, it is expected to be in the next few weeks.
