>> JM Kelly collapse: 'You and your family need to look out'
THE former construction manager of disgraced central Queensland builder JM Kelly was employed by the State Government's Rockhampton Building Asset Services office in the aftermath of the company's liquidation.
Mick Drew was called to give evidence to a recent Federal Court of Brisbane public examination into the liquidation of JM Kelly Builders Pty Ltd.
Unsecured subcontractors, who have been left unpaid by the latest JM Kelly implosion last October and that of another company JM Kelly Project Builders in 2016, have identified Mr Drew as the company representative who approached them with promises of payment that were never fulfilled.
Creditor Wayne Harris said he was stunned when he found out Mr Drew had secured through an employment agency a short-term contract with the Building Asset Services office which was part of the Department of Housing and Public Works.
"I was quite shocked," he said.
