00:00Today we formally released the report of Dr Kirsty Wright into the failures of Labor's
00:06DNA debacle. A failure that rocked the justice system in this state to the core. The report
00:12contains damning findings. My team and I found that the the lab isn't providing the essential
00:19services required for the police, for the courts, or most importantly the victims of crime. There's
00:25large backlogs still, approximately 13,000 samples. When we say samples, these are people,
00:31these are victims, these are defendants, these are people's lives. At the moment the median time
00:37for the lab to process major crime cases, sexual assaults, rapes, murders, is about 420 days.
00:45We as Queenslanders deserve to have a forensic science lab that is giving good results,
00:52is assisting victims through the justice system. Contamination, unreliable results,
00:58these are things that aren't, they can't just be brushed aside, but they were. The outsourcing
01:04of forensics offers a huge opportunity for the panel to get in and actually fix some of the problems
01:11of the past and why that's important in this case is because they link back to real people.
