Ms FYLES - 2013-10-15
Last week I asked you to explain your government’s mean-spirited decision to remove all funding to FrogWatch. You said:
FrogWatch has said the NT government has stopped all funding to FrogWatch, which means Darwin is now exposed to a renewed threat of cane toads.
And:
Clearly, you misled this House, minister. When will you stop misleading …
Mr ELFERINK: A point of order, Madam Speaker!
- Let me be clear, this government did not cut funding for FrogWatch. The contract was terminated by mutual agreement, effective 31 March 2013.
FrogWatch has said the NT government has stopped all funding to FrogWatch, which means Darwin is now exposed to a renewed threat of cane toads.
And:
- We did not, and do not, agree with the cut, but were given no choice.
Clearly, you misled this House, minister. When will you stop misleading …
Mr ELFERINK: A point of order, Madam Speaker!
