The Northern Territory Government has quietly axed the committees it created to scrutinise proposed laws and reversed changes it promised would increase transparency and accountability.Natasha Fyles defended the decision to scrap them today, saying it would make the Government quicker and more efficient
The new sessional orders also scrap Labor's change that banned "Dorothy Dixer" questions from Wednesday Question Time and reserved it for Opposition and independent questions. It consisted of three government and two non-government members, who considered submissions on proposed laws from non-government groups and members of the public.The Government said they would help create "open and transparent government" and help restore trust after the tumultuous Giles government period."We have got a Government that's fearful and on the run," she said.
Ooh that'll be good for democracy!
No!!! Voters want to know!!!
Less transparency and accountability in the name of efficiency. Surely that can't go wrong. /s
