The Lawler Labor Government’s pick for Speaker of the NT Parliament has caused outrage amongst Opposition and independent MLAs, who have argued that Member for Daly Dheran Young is unsuitable for the job due to his past conduct, that includes threatening a sitting MLA and charging taxpayers for his personal holidays.
Opposition CLP MLA Steve Edgington led the onslaught in Parliament, stating that Mr Young was being promoted by the Labor Government for “his bad behaviour” and relaying the story of how Mr Young threatened MLA Josh Burgoyne when he was a ministerial staffer in February 2021.
We really have reached the bottom of the barrel.
