Ms FYLES - 2015-03-24
Your chaotic, dysfunctional and incompetent government has betrayed Territorians. You cannot govern yourself or the Territory. In the midst of your new deputy’s failed leadership challenge, you said:
You have allowed unprecedented cuts to remote and regional Indigenous services and lied about the impacts of your policies on police resources …
Madam SPEAKER: Member for Nightcliff, please withdraw that.
Ms FYLES (Nightcliff): Madam Speaker, I move that so much of standing orders be suspended as would prevent this House from censuring the Chief Minister for:
leading the most dysfunctional government in the Northern Territory’s history with fourteen reshuffles in two-and-a-half years
increasing the cost of living for Territory families and lying about the Power and Water tariff hikes
failing on land release for housing and ignoring consultation with affected residents
ignoring the crime wave across the Territory and failing to deliver the 120 extra police officers which were promised
presiding over the horrendous job and program cuts to frontline services across our regions and remote communities
arrogantly refusing to seek a mandate for Territorians on public asset sales.
Mr ELFERINK: A point of order, Madam Speaker! You asked her to withdraw the word and she did not do it.
Madam SPEAKER: She has moved on to a censure motion. Do you accept the censure?
Mr ELFERINK: We accept the censure, but I ask her to withdraw the word ‘liar’.
Madam SPEAKER: It has moved into a censure and this is done every time, as you well know.
Mr ELFERINK (Leader of Government Business): Madam Speaker, I ask that further questions be placed on the Written Question Paper.
- This is turmoil within the party. It is turmoil within government and not good for Territorians …
You have allowed unprecedented cuts to remote and regional Indigenous services and lied about the impacts of your policies on police resources …
Madam SPEAKER: Member for Nightcliff, please withdraw that.
