Health fraud suspect promotions need investigation

State Leader of Katter’s Australian Party, Aidan McLindon, today called for an investigation into the rapid promotion of Joel Barlow, the man at the centre of the $16 million Queensland Health fraud.

Mr Barlow was promoted rapidly inside Queensland Health and now other Queensland Health public servants have been asked to reveal any gifts received from Mr Barlow.

“There needs to be a thorough and transparent investigation into how and why Mr Barlow was promoted so rapidly, especially in light of the fact that Queensland Health employees have now been asked to reveal details of any gifts received,” said Mr McLindon.

“In the interests of accountability and to ensure that the good name of Queensland Health employees is not brought into disrepute, it is paramount that this investigation take place immediately.”

“Queenslanders deserve to know whether Mr Barlow used any funds from his alleged fraud to speed his promotions.”

“Clearly, the procedures used by Queensland Health to monitor funding grants have been inadequate.”
