Mrs HICKEY - 1998-10-15
Long time senior Country Liberal Party operative, Andrew Coward, who worked at a senior level for the Country Liberal Party for 10 years has produced a paper titled Dossier nt. I seek leave to table a copy of the document which the Chief Minister received some time ago.
Leave granted.
Mr Coward makes alarming allegations of official corruption in the Country Liberal Party administration. Will the Chief Minister make a full ministerial statement to the parliament and the people of the Northern Territory about the accuracy or otherwise of Mr Coward’s alarming allegations?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, Andrew Coward was never employed by me and he never worked for me. I did not like the man and I removed him from the Office of the Chief Minister on being elected as Chief Minister. I treated him fairly and I saw him on his way.
