QLD:Qld govt lampoons "Captain Hindsight"

Liberal National Party leader CAMPBELL NEWMAN has been dubbed "Captain Hindsight" by
the Queensland government as it tries to push past criticism of its handling of January's
floods.

As Premier ANNA BLIGH told parliament how she'll begin implementing the flood inquiry's
recommendations, she had to field opposition criticism, including calls for Water Minister
Stephen Robertson's sacking.

Ms BLIGH attacked Mr NEWMAN'S claims he would have lowered Wivenhoe Dam's levels before
the wet season had he been premier.

Treasurer ANDREW FRASER joined in, lampooning the LNP leader, who he labelled "Captain
Hindsight".
