Mr. Speaker, this guy's $75,000 contract for giving advice sure takes on a new meaning here does it not?
The ministries of industry, heritage, finance and the Deputy Prime Minister are all rumoured to have fundraising teams in place. Even the government's ethics lapdog saw the obvious conflict and asked Mr. Palmer to sever his ties with the Department of Finance.
Will the Deputy Prime Minister confirm that no other minister has given contracts or appointments to any of their leadership teams?
