Corrupt Railcorp employees face jailtime

19/11/2008 12:26:00 PM.  | Heidi Tiltins
Nearly a dozen more Railcorp employees and contractors could find themselves behind bars, following an ongoing investigation into corruption.

In total, 31 people have now been found to have engaged in corrupt conduct after a lengthy investigation by ICAC into the rorting of RailCorp contracts and allowances.

In the latest report, 11 people have been identified, including former track-team leader George Laidlaw and a number of favoured contractors.

It has been found Mr Laidlaw and his team exploited their employment at RailCorp, swindling $55,000 in accommodation allowances, and selling $10,000 worth of stolen scrap metal.

He also managed to steer millions of dollars worth of work to favoured contractors.

ICAC has recommended Mr Laidlaw and ten others be referred to the DPP for possible criminal charges.

The millions of dollars being misdirected to favored contractors .. reminds me of the decision to build desalination plants instead of water recycling and new dams. This has happened in more than one city .. who are the contractors benefiting? Australian people aren't.

Vince Graham should join them. he presided over the disfunctional organization for years and years and always did his Labor masters bidding. He did a terrible job in reality but managed to cover up just enough for Labor to reward him with a promotion to some other Govt position where he can inflict his incompetance.
