A recent survey of Tourism staff conducted by the CPSU asked the question, ‘If you were offered a position in Alice Springs under the present conditions would you accept it?’ An enormous 92% said ‘no’. Is it not time to admit your Tourism minister’s bungle?
ANSWER
Curious question, Madam Speaker. We have been elected and we have to take our responsibilities seriously. We have made a decision. We said we would ask members working in Darwin what their views were. They said ‘no’. We have to work through that. It is like the alcohol question. ‘It would be best not to ask the question, let us just decide for them’. That is not the approach we will take.
