The Opposition says it will be demanding answers from Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro when Parliament resumes Tuesday morning, calling for the release of the full Operation Apollo report and for her to explain why a so-called “educational tool” for the public service has been kept secret, while Ms Finocchiaro said on Monday she was still waiting for advice from the ICAC before tabling the report in Parliament. That and other issues are expected to dominate this week of parliamentary sittings.

The Environment Centre NT has said the Finocchiaro Government’s tough on crime rhetoric clearly does not apply to big business, in response to the announcement it has negotiated a settlement with the owners of Claravale Farm over illegal land clearing, which still allows them to farm the area of land they admitted they cleared without a permit.
