Chief Minister

Motion of no confidence

The Clerk: In accordance with standing order 103, I inform members that Mr Seselja has lodged the following notice of motion:

That this Assembly no longer has confidence in the Chief Minister, Ms Katy Gallagher MLA, due to:

(1) being the minister responsible for taking the ACT health system from one of the best performing in this country and turning it into one of the worst;

(2) being the minister responsible when the systematic deception of the community about the declining state of the health system occurred, including the altering of at least 11,700 health records over a number of years to make the system appear to be performing better than it was; and

(3) personally failing to disclose conflicts of interest and personal connections to the executive responsible for the alteration of many of the health records.

MR SPEAKER: I believe we are going to proceed with the presentation of committee reports, and then you will move the motion later, Mr Seselja.

Mr Seselja: I will not be moving the motion, I do not think.

MR SPEAKER: Okay, that is fine. We will move forward with some business.
