The Canberra Times is moderately outraged that the backbench MLA from Tuggeranong, Mick Gentleman, has been drawing $10k a year to chair the select committee on working families.
Apparently set up to stick the boot into the Howard Government’s IR laws the committee has not been over-exerting itself, meeting for just 11 hours over the 2005-06 period.
The Assembly has voted to keep the committee going until October 2007.
