The Fannie Bay by-election is an opportunity to send Labor a message that it has failed on integrity, says CLP Opposition Leader Lia Finocchiaro.

In an extraordinary move, Natasha Fyles tried on radio yesterday to talk herself out of a web of lies and deceit in regards to allegedly forged documents her cabinet are refusing to hand over to the very ICAC they created.

“Even Natasha Fyles can’t keep track of her pathetic excuses and has lost all credibility when in one breath she claimed the ICAC has the cabinet document and in another claims she doesn’t know what the document is or whether he has it,” Mrs Finocchiaro said.

“Natasha Fyles must provide the ICAC what he needs to investigate this serious allegation of misleading cabinet.

“In a further blow to scrutiny she also ruled out following the CLP’s lead on releasing cabinet documents after 30 days.

“This is a different leader of the same dodgy government – yet another reason why people need to use the Fannie Bay by-election to send Labor a message – there are no more excuses.

“A CLP Government that I lead would ensure that the ICAC had access to Cabinet documents when required for investigations.

“Territorians want and deserve a Government they can trust, and Labor has failed this test.”
