Labor: Premier has Serious Candidate Questions to Answer
Media release – Dean Winter, 21 February 2024
Premier has serious candidate questions to answer
Jeremy Rockliff has serious questions to answer regarding members of his ‘team of the decade’ announced yesterday.
Can Mr Rockliff confirm whether or not Jane Howlett is under investigation by the Integrity Commission?
Following the emergence of more tweets, and a letter written in protest of the government’s COVID actions when Rockliff was Health Minister, does the Premier stand by his support of anti-vaxxer Julie Sladden?
Can the Premier confirm whether he himself is the subject of an Auditor General investigation regarding a secret grant offered to the New Norfolk Distillery, which is run by the brother of one of his candidates, who was also an advisor in the Rockliff government?
Can the Premier confirm none of his other candidates are under investigation by the Integrity Commission?
With so many questionable candidates, it is clear that after 10 years, the Liberals have become so desperate they will take anyone.
