The two most hated men in the Australian state of Queensland at the moment would be Bundaberg Hospital's Medical Services Director Darren Keating and Hospital Manager Peter Leck.
As evidence, a Brisbane Courier-Mail on-line survey which found most people (more than 40%) felt the two bureaucrats were most responsible for the collapse of the Morris enquiry into Bundaberg's hospital.
The enquiry has revealed gross mismanagement of the state health system which has contributed to the deaths and maiming of patients. But it was brought to a half prematurely when Keating and Leck complained to the Supreme Court that Commissioner Tony Morris was biased against them.
If he was, no wonder – these people entrusted with the lives of the sick and elderly even allowed an unlicensed sociopath, one Jayant Patel, to practice surgery and possibly murder at least 12 people. Then Keating and Leck’s workmates in head office gave Patel an airline ticket back to the US. Efforts to retrieve Patel have since proved fruitless.
The third most despised party amongst those singled out in the survey is State Premier Peter Beattie who some reports suggest may have grasped the straw of the Supreme Court’s judgement as a means of preventing further embarrassment to his government.
