Summary
Queenslands water minister, Ann Leahy, is committed to rebuilding Paradise Dam despite Sunwaters opposition, a project that could cost over $4.4 billion. The dams safety was compromised during the 2013 floods, leading to a pledge from both Labor and LNP to rebuild it. Leahy faced criticism in parliament but remains resolute, emphasizing fiscal responsibility while seeking Sunwaters input. A detailed business case is due this month, and the governments decision will hinge on its findings. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
