Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Mr McCARTHY - 2013-02-14

In advertisements during the CLP election campaign you promised to be open and accountable. You have now prohibited the new member for Arnhem from being open and accountable through talking to the media. She has been in hiding for nearly a month. You do not trust your members of parliament to speak for themselves. How is banning members of parliament from talking being open and accountable, Chief Minister?

ANSWER

Madam Speaker, I thank the honourable member for Barkly for the question. There is no such prohibition. It is not the case at all.
