Queensland’s Bligh Vows to Implement Findings of Flood Inquiry

Queensland Premier Anna Bligh vowed to implement the recommendations of a report into what worsened flooding in the Australian state if she’s re-elected in a vote next week.

The Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry found today that mismanagement of the Wivenhoe Dam near Brisbane during the inundations exacerbated the crisis last year, Bligh said. The findings come eight days before the March 24 Queensland election.
