I ask the Chief Minister, will he concede that his senior political adviser, Paul Cowdy, authorised Territory taxpayer-funded focus group research in an illegitimate use of taxpayers money?

Will he concede that the content of the tape, as outlined in the transcript that he’s now read, constitutes party political opinion polling?
