Queensland forensic services will be "rebuilt from the ground up" and double jeopardy laws may be reformed to re-prosecute serious crimes after a damning report into the state-run DNA lab.
A four-month inquiry into the state's embattled DNA testing system found it failed to properly test samples for years because of "grave maladministration involving dishonesty".
The report revealed lab managers had focused on speed rather than accuracy in DNA testing and "that scourge has invaded" the validation of processes and equipment used, time management and resources.
