The Premier of Queensland has today announced that Queenslanders will go to the polls on March 24th. The Government will enter caretaker mode from February 19.
In her press release Premier Ann Bligh said,
“The government would enter caretaker mode on February 19 and would seek to move the upcoming local government elections to late April or early May.
The Premier made the unprecedented announcement after receiving a request from the Floods Commission of Inquiry for an extension of time until the 16th of March to complete their work.
“The Commission and the Commissioners have my full support in their decision to hold further hearings and in their request for an extension of time,” she said.
“I established this inquiry because I wanted answers about the circumstances of the floods. I said I would leave no stone unturned and I meant it.
“My family and the people I love, live in this city and, like every other Queenslander I want the truth about what happened last year.”
