Mr CONLAN - 2011-10-20
A request by the opposition to visit the Tennant Creek Hospital on 7 November - by me, the Leader of the Opposition and the member for Braitling - was refused, despite giving three week’s notice, with the lame excuse that you are in transition for recruiting a new General Manager. Despite the culture of cover-up that is alive and well in this government, what interest do you have in denying elected members of parliament access to public facilities?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, that is an interesting question. The member well knows that every other time he has asked to visit any hospital in the Territory, or clinics, I have said yes. I had no reason to say no, and I welcome him to come and see how good our health system is in the Territory. You are welcome to come again. The moment the position is filled, I will extend to you a personal invitation to visit Tennant Creek.
