昆州卫生部门主管大卫·罗森格伦在议会预算听证会上承认,三个医院服务委员会目前缺乏法律规定应有的原住民董事[1]。这三个委员会分别为阳光海岸、北都市和南都市医院服务委员会[1]。罗森格伦将此归咎于"计划外空缺",但报道指出这些离职情况在最近的改革前就已知晓或被施压造成[1]。
2025年3月27日,卫生部长蒂姆·尼科尔斯宣布了50名新董事会成员的任命[1]。其中,北都市董事阿德里安·卡森的辞职于2025年8月提交,并于2025年4月1日生效[1]。南都市的多尼莎·达夫OAM在改革前五天、于2025年3月31日收到解释通知后随即离职[1]。罗森格伦辩称,除了这些计划外空缺,其他13个卫生服务委员会都已确认配备了原住民董事[1]。
此事引发对克里萨富利政府意图的质疑[1]。前真相委员会主席约书亚·克里默上月指控该政府存在有意削弱原住民代表权和政策的"项目隐身"战略[1]。
Queensland Health director-general David Rosengren faced parliamentary scrutiny over the absence of Indigenous directors on three hospital service committees, despite legal requirements mandating their presence. [1] He acknowledged that the Sunshine Coast, Metro North, and Metro South hospital service committees all lack Indigenous board members, attributing the shortfall to "unplanned vacancies." [1]
The departures coincided with a major board restructuring announced in late March 2025. Health Minister Tim Nicholls unveiled appointments of 50 new board members on March 27, 2025. [1] However, the circumstances surrounding these vacancies raised questions about their timing. Metro North director Adrian Carson submitted his resignation in August 2025, with an effective date of April 1, 2025, while Donisha Duff OAM, a Metro South director, departed after receiving a termination notice just five days before the March 31, 2025 reforms took effect. [1]
Rosengren stated that "aside from these unplanned vacancies, the other 13 health service committees all have confirmed Indigenous directors." [1] The situation has drawn allegations of a deliberate strategy to diminish Indigenous representation. Former Truth Commission chair Joshua Creamer recently raised concerns that the Crisafulli government was pursuing an intentional "Project Invisibility" strategy targeting Indigenous representation and policy influence.
