Two bureaucrats who were heavily involved in procuring 4.4 billion dollars worth of dodgy trains in Queensland have been promoted to senior positions in State Government.
Dave Stewart and Neil Scales, the heads of department for the disastrous North Queensland Rail fleet, now hold the position of Director General of Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s Department of Premier and Cabinet and Director General of the Department of Transport and Main Roads respectively.
Despite their new promotions, the blame for the faulty fleet is still being tossed around with Mr Scales blaming the Liberal National Party for signing off, while the LNP says the debacle was at the fault of the Labour National Party.
