Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Mr BURKE - 2005-02-16

On ABC radio this morning, in response to your secret dossier on Territorians, you stated that you do not collect talkback radio calls. From the information I have, I know that you do collect radio calls. Would you like to correct your answer in that regard? Why do you have the independent Speaker of this Assembly noted in your secret dossier as a member of the CLP?

Madam SPEAKER: Never! I think you have it wrong there, Chief Minister!

ANSWER

Madam Speaker, can I ask the Leader of the Opposition to table the documents he has?

Mr Burke: I have it all upstairs, the press have it. I tabled it to the press.

Ms MARTIN: Madam Speaker, I am being asked a question about documentation. I have not seen that documentation. To properly deal with it, I say to the Opposition Leader, table the documentation.

Mr BURKE: Madam Speaker, I am happy to table the documentation. I simply say to Territorians that I am sure I have only got the tip of the iceberg. I will certainly table everything I have, which is about 3000 names, however, I am sure there are many more.

Madam SPEAKER: Order! Can I place on public record that certainly the Speaker of the Northern Territory parliament is not a member of the CLP.
