Anti-corruption experts Deborah Glass, a former ombudsman, and Robert Redlich, a former head of IBAC, call for a royal commission into Queensland’s “Big Build” program. The recommendations are made in an interview with Nick McKenzie on the ABC’s 60 Minutes, according to multiple outlets. The commentators argue that an independent, high-level inquiry is needed to examine issues associated with the procurement and delivery of major infrastructure projects under the Big Build banner. The reporting is consistent across sources, describing both Glass and Redlich as drawing on their prior oversight and anti-corruption experience while advocating for a royal commission as the appropriate mechanism. The articles do not present new findings from the commission itself, but focus on the experts’ public call for such an inquiry. The coverage presents the proposal as a response to ongoing public concerns about how aspects of the Big Build projects have been managed, and emphasizes the need for independent scrutiny.
