"This is one of the greatest scandals we have seen in this state for a long, long time," Opposition Leader David Crisafulli said. "We've got a power station that had a catastrophic explosion that could have killed its workforce and thank goodness it didn't," shadow energy minister Deb Frecklington added."Well the board has been replaced, the CEO has been replaced, the operations manager has been replaced. They are the actions the Miles government has taken."
