Ms CARNEY - 2005-10-11
Are you aware of a report in the Centralian Advocate dated 6 November 2005 about allegations involving the inappropriate disposal of various goods from the Papunya store in the weeks leading up to the June election? Are you also aware of the claim in the same article of allegations of impropriety against a number of public servants in relation to this matter? Who has briefed you about these allegations and what, if any, action have you taken in relation to them?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I very clearly use the word ‘allegations’ that was used by the Opposition Leader. Even though they are allegations, we have had some strong words to say about what is happening at Papunya and some of the allegations and counter-allegations that are surrounding the member for Macdonnell - who is a very fine member of this parliament and has full support on this side of the parliament. I can say that I am aware of those allegations and they have appropriately been referred to our police.
