NT Speaker found responsible for corrupt conduct, Chief Minister saysNT Chief Minister Michael Gunner says the anti-corruption watchdog found the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly responsible for corrupt conduct and serious breaches of public trust. Sad that this happens, good that the ICAC got involved. Would love to see a Federal ICAC with greater powers happen sometime. Pretty sure lots of taxpayers have been asking for one for ages. Who would’ve thought a corrupt politician🤔 Damn you ABC. Why don't you expose the criminal acts of the Gunner Gang that constitute 'misappropriation and misuse of public funds'? Best example is $15 mil to the racetrack and not the hospital...public does NOT benefit from such action.....Gunner is CORRUPT

I can’t believe anyone in NT politics could be corrupt or mislead and betray public trust, hang on who owns the port up there now ? And where did the bloke that signed it over end up working? 🙄 Impossible. Two females can’t possibly be corrupt. Must have been their white privilege.
