  1. This is absolutely putrid and the inaction by the Finochiarro Government just says to all public servants, confidential information is not that confidential -go make a buck!

  2. He’s a bigger guy, no doubt about it, but still a solid, strapping sort of fellow. The kind of man who looks like he’d know his way around hard work, with broad shoulders and the sort of strong hands that make you notice.

  3. Perhaps Nicole Manison can assist Tamboran by employing their services.

    • Only after consulting Micheal Gunner at KPMG for his astute financial acumen, with some input from from Swim Teacher now CEO of Sommerville Services!
      Maybe Adam Giles who works for/worked for Gina Rhinehardt can assist!?

      Does anyone see a pattern here? The Territory can be sold down a river as long as the Politicians are looked after post Electoral Defeat! Where will the current CLP MLA’s get work in September 2028?

      Question:
      Will the Minister of Education go back to running a backyard hair dresser shop in katherine?
      Will the Attorney General go back to running to handling calls at a Financial Advisor shop?
      Will the Speaker Robyn Lambley go back to running a $1 Shop Mad Harrys in a war zone of a town?
      Will the Treasurer go back to …doing nothing ?
      Will the Chief Minister go back to practicing law ?
      Will the Health Minister go back to practicing law after spending 4 years learning about the Health Department?
      Will the Infrastructure Minister go back to being a sparky in Alice?

      • Handsome fella like Josh Burgoyne will probably better suit a gig in modelling.

  4. What is most telling is that the 2 major parties protect each other when it comes to corruption. They could hold each other to account but they do the opposite. They take us for granted. Move your vote to the Independents or minors.

  5. The big tell out of here is the amount of bullying that comes from the executive or senior management levels. This figure would be massively under reported. Most cases would be dismissed and excused but the majority of bullying and professional misconduct, employment fraud and administrative malfeasance is committed at management level.

    Governments across Australia are plagued with a new generation of social engineering, nepotism, favourtism and mallicious incompetence. I say malicious incompetence because when you know you are incompetent/ignorant, yet you refuse to do anything about it, it is malicious. The Northern Territory is the dumping ground for incompetence. It is used either as a resume filler for ambitious executives who can’t break through the ceiling in QLD/SA or a retirement top up for those tranistioning to retirement.

    Have a look at the number of executives and politicians who flop in, fluff about and make a lot of noise, achieve nothing, assassinate their rivals, parachute in their mates then retire to QLD on a consultancy contract for the portfolios they nurtured after installing the new management.

    An indepth investigation into every bconsultant on the books, their links to previous positions and links to the contract managers would be very revealing.

    NT Public Service and Government is the most corrupt mafia style gang in the country.

    Lastly, Nicole Hurwood is the pinnacle of incompetence, but she is the latest installment of a string of incometent OCPE Commissioners.
