How about you wait for the whole enquiry to be completed. At the moment we have a bit of " he said, she said " which will get us no where in the end.
Meanwhile, the right whingers are glossing over the fact that the contractor clearly failed to execute the contract properly.
It is my understanding that contractors were used in other states for security as well although they were alongside government people.
Contractors look after all sorts of government work all the time. Not anyone can get a government contract. There are standards and accreditations that must be achieved. Let's find out whether the contracts were up to scratch for a start. Then lets find out whether those contracts were followed correctly.

Security companies dropping the ball. casuals with no sickies spreading infection. That sounds like a conservative policy failure to me.
