A message from Terry.

The Deputy Chief Minister has been crying foul recently over what she sees as breaches of her personal privacy.

 

The Opposition has questioned in Parliament Ms Scrymgour's honesty on a range of issues including the sacking of former Education CEO Margaret Banks and where she was when teachers protested in September in front of Parliament House.

 

Our questions focussed on the Minister's honesty.

 

She initially told reporters Mrs Banks had retired - only admitting she had in fact been sacked after the former CEO - and award winning educator - had told media she was pushed from the position.

 

Ms Scrymgour also told the Assembly she'd taken her daughter to a beautician's appointment the day teachers protested - a claim contradicted by a report in The Australian newspaper that she'd also undergone a facial waxing.

 

Her responses to our questions in both areas were less than satisfactory.

None of the Country Liberals attacks on Ms Scrymgour were personal. They were political.

 

It was telling that during the first week of the October sittings, the Chief Minister refused to commit to sacking a Minister who had been caught lying.

 

Territorians deserve a Government they know will deal honestly with them. The Henderson Government falls well short of that standard.
