  1. Parliamentary estimates hearings in June can’t come soon enough to shine light on this and a litany of other matters

    • Are you new to the Territory?
      The Majority CLP will block any bad news. And believe me, the tragic, soul destroying story of Shaun Joyce is damning news for the nepotism heavy executive scum at the disastrously managed Acacia Health System project.

      What did the Parliamentary Inquiry into the Sam Burkes Magic Pay Scandal accomplish? Besides embarrassing the Waterfront board, it was rammed through and nothing was accomplished.

      What did the embarrassing Four Corners national expose on the NT Racing and Gaming Commission , showing how incompetent anything located in the NT is, accomplish? Nothing! No one fired. No board members admonished,

      What did the recent NTPS Staff Survey accomplish where the numbers of bullying and sexual harrasment are shocking and only 48% of the respondents bothered to fill it in. If 100% of public servants filled it in, the numbers would have been catastrophic! Any action by the CLP?

      What did the legal action against a very controversial deal between Darinc City Councils now ousted Lord Mayor Kon Vastkalis accomplish? Nothing!

      The government is here to solely assist their election fund donating Developers build buildings and pay eye watering rent (which the public will never be allowed to know) for those buildings! Thats the focus!

      • Sure, we could all give up, leave them to their self interest and go fishing until the August 2028 election. Or we could keep using all available means to let them know their misdeeds don’t go unnoticed. And consider not re-electing the same two-winged bird 🦅 in 2 years time.

        • Your right MAlice!!!!
          This Will not be another issue that the Senior Scum Bags will shelve, like every other “Issue” they are handsomely paid to dispose off!

  2. 1. What are the number of individual independent contractors on ABNs hired on this Northern Territory Government Acacia Digital Patient Record System project and why is this information not reported in the 2024 -2025 Northern Territory Public Service State of the Service report of the NT Office of the Commissioner for Public Employment ?
    2. Does the hiring of all these individual independent contractors on ABNs hired on this Northern Territory Government project comply with sections 15AA and 357 of the Fair Work Act (Cth) of the Commonwealth Parliament as explained in the multi-factorial approaches in the following Federal Court of Australia and Fair Work Commission decisions ?
    [2025] FCA 663 Cropper v Energy Action (Australia) Pty Ltd (No 2) (23 June 2025)
    [2025] FWC 2327 An Applicant v The Trustee For New Hopes Trust (11 August 2025)
    [2025] FWC 3069 Matthew Bull v Rmbl Bxng Bondi Pty Ltd (22 October 2025)
