Mr GUNNER - 2013-02-19
Current Chief Minister, your leadership hangs by a thread, nine votes to seven. Seven of your colleagues have no confidence in you and it only takes one more to agree and you are gone as Chief Minister. How can you provide any proper government when half of your colleagues have no confidence in you?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I wonder what his source of information is. I thank you for the question. I advise you I have been in this Chamber for some time. There are many people who are more concerned about matters of real importance and how they are addressed by a real government.
As a relatively new member of parliament and part of the Labor opposition, you should be more aware of the concerns that need to be addressed in order for the Territory to be in a stronger position in the future.
Be aware that this is a government with the capacity to make these decisions: a government that has the authority of a Cabinet which has made its decisions. For you to spend all your time worried about what is going on, on this side - I would be worried by the brand you represent, mate!
You see what is happening federally. For a proud Labor Party member to see someone stabbed by someone else - what the heck goes on when the interests of the nation are at stake! The appalling leadership that comes from the Labor Party federally is an absolute disgrace. You are contributing to that because you have the same DNA running through your veins that gives guidance to the way you see every issue through a political lens.
There are real issues that need to be attended to. I head a government that is passionate and ambitious and is concerned only with the future of the Northern Territory.
