$12m school row: hostel or boarding facility? – Alice Springs News

As Shane Dowling suggests “please read the first two comments to this article.” One asks, if this was reported back in April, 6 months ago, why it wasn’t given any MSM hearing? Why hasn’t it been investigated further? Stuart Robert shennanigans certainly were. Are shadow Ministers like Price Dutton and Littleproud free from conflict of interest investigations and corruption allegations?

By ERWIN CHLANDA A row is brewing over plans for a $12m boarding facility planned to be added to the Aboriginal-run Yipirinya School. NT Senator Jacinta Price, who sits with the Coalition, is pushing for the project, with the support of Shadow Education Minister Sarah Henderson. But now ALP Member of Lingiari Marion Scrymgour has pointed out that Senator Price’s mother, Bess, a former CLP Member in the Territory Parliament, is the school’s assistant principal.

The Alice Springs News has asked Senator Price whether she has declared an interest. There was no mention of her mother’s position in a media release on the matter, issued this morning (28 April).
