  1. Theres what the CLP dominated Parliament and their woeful media advisors are concocting that they hope the voting public will be happy with!

    Then theirs what the voting public will actually be happy with!

    If I was a CLP MLA, who was wondering what my future in the NT held, I would be googling “How to organise a By-Election” before they get their own dedicated chapter in forthcoming book aptly titled “Cocks In The Cabinet !”

  2. So it’s crystal clear that 2 hours is not going to be nearly enough to hear all of the allegations, excuses, statements, lies, finger pointing, lies, flimsy reasons and other information needed to fully assess this weeping sore that is the DWC pantomime.

    Not surprising really but it’s 2 hours to document something that no one was interested in until the NT Independent pushed it all out into the public arena. Thanx again Chris and others.

    Special thanx however goes to the whistleblowers who alerted us too. Publications like this exist to help get your valuable information the sunshine it deserves. Bravo to you!

    Long may you and others continue to blow those whistles for us.

    Without your fantastic disclosures we’d all still be in the dark.

    This has nothing to do with politicians and everything to do with employees like you who have genuine integrity and cast iron ethics.
    We know a fledgling NT political Party, started by a fellow NT Government whistleblower, who would welcome you with open arms: ‘Change For Better’.

    Contact them on their web page or here:

    admin@changeforbetter.party

    Check out how deliberately narrow these Terms Of Reference are:

    We encourage everyone who can, to attend this and see Government cover up in action.

    We’re not expecting any CLP member who thinks LiaR will still be in the top job in the next few months, to make any adverse findings against her husband and their mates in Government like Andrew Kirkman and Alastair Shields to name 2.

    Alternatively, this might be an easy way for other CLP-ers to use it as an excuse to roll her.

    If they agree that her husband was in on the fake job and happily took and shared the money with her then that’s a good enough reason to say that she’s bringing the CLP into disrepute and to ditch her.

    Interesting times ahead.

    Something tells us that this will not be over when the PAC publishes their decision, whenever that may be.

    We believe that there’s much more to come on this…….

  3. You be very bloody careful LiaR and the CLP!
    Territorians have already gone upwind of your pungent stench, don’t make them reach further afield for help to treat your deliverance of foul waste when it comes to corruption!
    Good governance would have seen this matter dealt with by agencies outside of the NT!

  4. The rats are closing ranks.

  5. it is NT public service work hours of 2.30pm to 4.30pm. It will be stage managed and it will be cursory and shallow and a FARCE.

  6. Didn’t the 2023/24 DWC Annual Report show $31 million was funnelled between several accounts. It the NTG Grants totalled $24 million where did the other $7million come from? Was it Waterfront Wharf One & Two body corp levies, Waterfront commercial business levies, CDU or Convention Centre accounts? Follow the money.

    It is becoming harder to sell Toga Waterfront apartments as levies are increasing again approx. $11,000.00 annually plus municipal City of Darwin rates which will increase again to pay for CoD LM Vatskalis 21 story civic centre that no rate payer wants or needs. Lots 10177 & 78 should be recreational land yet DWC have created an industrial tip, right where cruise ships dock at the wharf. They don’t care!

  7. Busy weekend for those involved concocting what they will say, if they say anything.
    I cant recall will possibly be a well used phrase.
