We all are aware that the ACT Assembly has its fair share of wacky representatives – Smyth, Katy, Burke, Fosky, Steve Pratt, Karen MacDonald, Hargreaves etc.
Perhaps it has something to do with the staff they employ.
We all fondly remember Stanhope’s graffiti artist Aidan Bruford. And I read here recently in RiotACT how the ‘wonderful’ Jacqui Burke once wanted to hire Ian Hirst, who was recently acquitted of murder.
Now another wacky staffer, Amy ? has discredited her office. She works for Brendan Smyth and tried to beat the 2pm embargo on the Budget papers by taking the papers from the lock up and taking them to the female toilets. Treasury officials were tipped off and they ‘stripped’ them off her but she apparently still managed to get away with some copies.
Jorian Garner from the ShityNews raised a relevant point – “where did she hide them”. Well, all I can say is that I hope Brendan Smyth didn’t mind the stained copies.
From what I understand, this Amy still has her job in Smyth’s office so Smyth must condone her actions. Of course, this says a lot about Brendan Smyth contempt for the Assembly and parliamentary procedures.
Are there any other Assembly staffers that have discredited themselves in their time of service that I have forgotten?
