Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Mrs HICKEY - 1998-11-26

I seek leave to table a copy of a fax marked September 1993 from Mark Textor to the government about the research he was being paid $740 a day to perform for the government.

Leave granted.

Mrs HICKEY: In this fax, Mr Textor advised that he will only involve uncommitted swinging voters and that viewing facilities for Country Liberal Party operatives to watch the focus groups are available.

Is it not a fact that this facsimile proves that the corrupt operation you designed and implemented in 1990 ...

Mr STONE: A point of Order, Madam Speaker! I ask that it be withdrawn.

Madam SPEAKER: Leader of the Opposition, you know you can’t use the word ‘corrupt’.

Mrs HICKEY: In that case, Madam Speaker, I seek leave to suspend so much of standing orders as would prevent me moving a censure motion.

Leave granted.
