Rene Hidding has misled the House while defending his Government’s rank hypocrisy over the sale of the Triabunna wharf to Jan Cameron and Graeme Wood.
Labor Leader Bryan Green said Hansard documents proved Mr Hidding’s comments to the House about Labor negotiating to sell the Triabunna wharf were false.
“It is completely untrue to say that Labor was in negotiations with Graeme Wood and Jan Cameron to sell the wharf,” Mr Green said.
“The very documents Mr Hidding is trying to use as evidence prove that.
“Mr Hidding has misled the house and needs to correct the record.
“The Liberals are desperate to deflect attention from the fact that Guy Barnett’s Triabunna witch hunt has blown up in the Liberals’ faces.
“Evidence demanded by Mr Barnett himself revealed the Liberals were in backroom discussions with Mr Wood and Ms Cameron to sell the Triabunna wharf, which has been described as an important asset by the Triabunna Chamber of Commerce.
“Mr Barnett has clumsily dragged Rene Hidding into the debate and Mr Hidding is clutching at straws to avoid having to front the inquiry himself to give evidence.”
