Media Release.
Deputy
Opposition Leader Tim Mulherin says the Premier needs to state if he still
supports his LNP Member for Redcliffe Scott Driscoll following a number of
revelations about Mr Driscoll’s business dealings.
“It seems
that every day there is a new story casting doubt over the suitability of Mr
Driscoll to be the elected representative for the people of Redcliffe,” Mr
Mulherin said.
“It is time
we heard from Premier Campbell Newman if he still stands by Mr Driscoll as an
appropriate person to be in the Queensland Parliament.
“Mr Newman
may be the Premier, but he is no statesman, he has proven time and again that
when it comes to the tough calls he can’t act.
“Mr Newman
failed to act to remove Bruce Flegg and Ros Bates from Cabinet when
Queenslanders and his own colleagues had lost faith in the two Ministers’
abilities.
“Now, after a
week of ongoing revelations about Mr Driscoll the Premier has again failed to
show leadership and either act to kick out Mr Driscoll from the LNP or make a
clear statement of support.
“The people
of Redcliffe need to know if the Premier has full confidence in Mr Driscoll,” he
said.
