Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Mr GUNNER - 2016-02-11

When the Chief Minister verbally approved your trip on 15 August 2015 to Vietnam to meet the CT Group, did he know you were also preparing to purchase $570 000 worth of shares in a development being undertaken by the same company? Either he did, and he has condoned the use of public office for private gain, or he did not and you clearly breached your duty under section 3.1 of the Ministerial Code of Conduct, which requires ministers to immediately advise the Chief Minister of potential conflicts of interest?

Madam Speaker, I move that this House censures the Deputy Chief Minister and Minister for Primary Industry and Fisheries.

Mr ELFERINK (Leader of Government Business): Madam Speaker, the government will accept the censure motion. Let us get on with business.

I ask that further questions be placed on the Written Question Paper.
