A forensic science institute will be created following two inquiries into a beleaguered Queensland DNA lab.The institute is the 121st of 123 recommendations from the first commission of inquiry into the troubled Forensic and Science Services lab, with 104 now implemented or partially implemented.Potential problems with the lab first came to light as a result of The Australian’s podcast series about the investigation into the brutal slaying of Shandee Blackburn.

The state’s leading DNA lab was put under the microscope in 2022 following questions raised by the Queensland Police Service about existing DNA thresholds preventing evidence processing.A lengthy first inquiry found many DNA samples went untested, while others were incorrectly ruled insufficient by the lab.It was revealed 37,000 cases dating back to 2007 were affected by the DNA testing bungle and would need to be reviewed.
