It was one of Giles’ most stupid decisions and one the people of Darwin strongly objected to at the time. Same with the selling of TIO. Those decisions and his utter arrogance is why he was a one term government and even lost his own seat. He quickly left the Territory proving he had no interest in the place anyway. Funny how Lia says she can’t say anything about the decision made 10 years ago whether it was right or wrong but she was one of those making the decision! Now she wants the feds to buy it back, so I’m guessing she’s saying she did make a bad decision 10 years ago.
Whats the word for a very generous Government totally dependent on local builders for their election coffers and providing for their constituents by being permanently on their very scraped knees begging the Feds for all funding?
-How about making the tough decisions of cutting 28000 Plus Plus Public Servants? -How about that estimated $15 Billion in Intergenerational government debt and its associated interest payments, is anyone on the fifth floor even bothered to develop a policy on it? -How about making cancelling the Own Goal Payroll tax reprieve which robs the Territory of internally sourced income.
So where would you cut the public servants from? Health is understaffed, Police is understaffed, Corrections is understaffed, the Courts are understaffed. Parks is understaffed, DCIS is understaffed. Is there any government department that is not understaffed for the job it has to do? And if you contract it it out it tends to get more expensive, not less.
Looks like Luke Gosling flapping his gums yesterday may have backed ANAL into a corner?.
Chris you know it was a brilliant deal, half a billion bucks for something so bad you couldn’t give away, even the Senator from Sydney knows that.
