NSW: Rees to consider following Bligh in releasing diner list
NSW Premier NATHAN REES says he'll consider following his Queensland counterpart's
lead in releasing a list of business leaders who have paid to dine with the ALP.
Queensland Premier ANNA BLIGH has released a guest list of almost 90 businesses and
individuals who paid to be at Labor lunches and dinners between July last year and June
this year.
Ms BLIGH's action is in response to several blows to her government's credibility ..
with current and former Labor MPs found to have questionable links to lobbyists and property
developments.
Mr REES insists business leaders and the general public don't have to pay to gain access
to his government .. saying he and his ministers go out of their way to be accessible.
He also admitted they don't get much when they pay.
