"A union-funded report has labelled the former Federal Treasurer Peter Costello's audit into the state's finances as shoddy and intellectually dishonest. The audit is the document the Queensland Government has used to justify a big cost-cutting program. Sydney accounting academic Professor Bob Walker reviewed the audit for the Queensland Council of Unions. He says the review doesn't adhere to required standards and doesn't support the State Government's claims its debt is out of control."
