Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Ms LAWRIE - 2013-08-20

Madam Speaker, he is continuing to rewrite a debacle of his own handling …

Mr ELFERINK: A point of order, Madam Speaker! Standing Order 112(2). The question should not contain arguments. She has led with an argument. I ask she withdraw it and get to the point of her question.

Madam SPEAKER: There is no point of order.

Ms LAWRIE: Your government is a debacle; the CLP has been in chaos for a year. You have broken promises and overseen a year of complete failures. You broke your promise on the commitment to cut the cost of living, to cut crime – crime has spiralled under the CLP - not to sack public servants - frontline workers such as teachers and child protection staff have gone, unemployment is up every month this year, you scrapped the Palmerston hospital and knifed your own elected leader. Why are you consistently lying to Territorians …

Mr ELFERINK: A point of order, Madam Speaker! As per the script, she needs to withdraw it.

Madam SPEAKER: Opposition Leader, please withdraw that last comment.

Mr ELFERINK: We will now accept the censure motion when she bothers to bring it on.
