Qld to force public buyout of scandal-plagued Callide C power station

A draft release of an investigation into the catastrophic failure was finally made available on Tuesday morning, more than three years after the explosion at the Central Queensland power station run by state-owned corporation CS Energy and its joint-venture partners.
