Mrs HICKEY - 1997-02-18

On the eve of the 1990 election, Territorians received a letter from the then Country Liberal Party Chief Minister, Marshall Perron, claiming the reason he called the election was the formation of ATSIC. On the eve of the 1994 election, Marshall Perron used saturation advertising and direct mail claiming that Labor would introduce 2 laws based on race. Last week, we were faced with the unedifying display of the Chief Minister resorting to grubby tactics of bashing Aboriginal Territorians. So, when is the election?

ANSWER

Mr Speaker, I thought the election speculation was best summed up by the Wicking cartoon in the Sunday Territorian.
