It is  a joke that they'd put this Abbo in there in the first place! Julia Gillard bumped off a hard working white woman "Trish Crossin"  to make way for this ugly, corrupt jig! Just to get the Abbo vote In the NT! I mean what vested interest does she have in politics? She was a track star and a Hockey star.

Patricia Margaret "Trish" Crossin (born 21 March 1956), Australian politician, was a member of the Australian Senate for the Northern Territory from June 1998 to September 2013, representing the Australian Labor Party.

Crossin was born in Melbourne and was educated at Deakin University, where she graduated in education. She was a teacher before entering politics. She was Northern Territory Industrial Officer of the National Tertiary Education Union 1996–1998.

She was appointed by the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly to fill the casual vacancy created by the resignation of Senator Bob Collins. Crossin was Deputy Opposition Whip in the Senate 2001–2004.

Crossin was informed by the Prime Minister Julia Gillard on Monday 21 January 2013, before a public announcement a day later, that she would not have her backing as the Senate candidate for the Australian federal election, 2013, and that the Prime Minister would be supporting the former Olympian Gold Medallist and Aboriginal activist Nova Peris.



It is clear she isn't suitable for a political role! how about they just demand she stand down.. you can't have coons running the place they are just :- corrupt, child like, hot headed and incompetent! So what if they were here first.. they never did anything but make 3 different sticks!

Clearly is the pet nigger trophy, pin up girl they have in Parliament house! Trish Crossin wasn't!

As I always tell people, you wouldn't put a White, bi-polar, off its medication and out of its head freak in charge of anything; so why would you put an Abo in charge of anything? After all, what we call bi-polar in White people, society has deemed cultural for the Abo.

ALISON Anderson is set to quit the Palmer United Party, her third political walkout since 2009. 
 
Ms Anderson — PUP's Northern Territory leader — and loyal shadow Larisa Lee will quit Clive Palmer's fracturing party because it had become a "total embarrassment", The Australian reports.

It comes after a remorseful Francis Xavier Kurrupuwu quit the PUP in September to rejoin the CLP.



The trio of bush MLAs dramatically joined the PUP in May after walking out of the CLP over claims of inaction in their remote electorates and of racism, both of which the CLP has denied.

Ms Anderson was first elected as a Labor MLA in 2005, but quit the party in 2009.

"I left Labor because of the failure of the Strategic Indigenous Housing and Infrastructure Program; I left the CLP because they were trying to destroy ­Aboriginal organisations and land rights. I left the PUP ­because we asked for inquires to help Aboriginal people and didn't get them, and the chaos in the party has become a national disgrace," Ms Anderson told The Australian.



Chief Minister Adam Giles today said he had warned Mr Palmer the pair would ditch him.

"I warned Clive back in April that this would happen. Alison Anderson and Larisa Lee are fair weather friends without any political conviction, who simply can't be trusted. Between them, they've had ten political party affiliations," he said.

"They simply have no credibility anymore and have once again proven they're in this for themselves.

"They only wanted Clive's money and when the flights in his private jet stopped, they dropped him like they've dropped everyone else. I'm very glad they're not our problem anymore.

"Larisa Lee can keep asking to come back to the Country Liberals as much as she likes."

Calls to Ms Anderson and Ms Lee have gone unanswered.

In April, Mr Giles said: "If Clive wants Alison Anderson, go for it. I've got to say I'm amazed, surprised, bewildered he's gone down this path."

Labor leader Delia Lawrie today said the chaos came at the expense of remote Territorians.

"Life for our most disadvantaged Territorians across our remote areas is worsening. The political chaos of the CLP and now Independent PUPs leaves a trail of broken promises in the bush, with conditions worsening not improving," she said.

Earlier this month, Ms Anderson signed off an opinion piece in The Australian as "independent member" in the Northern Territory.

:'( Who would have thought? Aboriginal MP's that were actually any good? :'( Damn idiots couldn't organise a root in a brothel!

It is good there are 2 less coon clowns trying to run the place.. how about they go back to their communities and blow a fart noise in a stick all day and pass the grog around amongst each other?

Alison Anderson, the political turncoat who will leave her third political party this week, says she is still a Territorian despite reports that she has been spending a lot of time in north Queensland with her partner. 
 
"I don't give a shit because I live in Alice Springs and I live in my electorate," a defiant Ms Anderson said last week.

"If you want to see where I live in Cairns, find the f***ing address."

The address the NT News did find for Ms Anderson was in Larapinta, a suburb of Alice Springs. That address would actually make her a resident in Chief Minister Adam Giles' electorate of Braitling, not Namatjira.



Under NT law, MPs are allowed to live outside their electorates. But not outside the Territory.

Ms Anderson said over the weekend that her association with the Palmer United Party, which she joined only eight months ago, was a "total embarrassment" and claimed the party had become a "national disgrace".

"My future plan is to contest and win the seat of Namatjira at the next election," she said in a text to the NT News yesterday. She refused to answer whether that would be as an independent or with another political party.

Ms Anderson and her sidekick, MP Larisa Lee, were reportedly negotiating with the First Nations Party and Bob Katter's Australian Party before taking the plunge with PUP last April.

Chief Minister Giles has ruled out a return to the CLP and the ALP has also indicated she would not be welcome back.



"Now we'll see if she joins Katter or the Greens," Mr Giles told AAP. "The Greens will sell their soul to anyone and so will Alison.

"The PUP didn't mean anything in the Parliament, they would have had more strength as independents."

Representatives from the Palmer United Party appear to have gone to ground, refusing to comment on the latest political wildcard to leave the beleaguered party.

A spokesman for the party told the NT News last week that leader Clive Palmer would be coming back to the Territory soon, but did not return calls yesterday.

CONVICTED street fighter and swing politician Larisa Lee has failed to pay back more than $8000 she inappropriately received from an indigenous group during her election campaign in 2012, the NT News has learned. 
 
It was agreed the $8790.25 would be paid back after late returns filed in 2013 showed the Jawoyn Association Aboriginal Corporation gave the party-switching politician in-kind donations to help with her campaign.

Ms Lee had defended taking the donation, despite not declaring it on her donation disclosures. She later agreed to pay it back.



That money has still not been repaid a year and a half after the agreement was made.

Jawoyn Association CEO Joanna Holden would not speak on the matter directly, but did say an agreement was in place to recover the money.

UPDATE: 230pm - Giles says he's still the leader

ADAM Giles has held a press conference where he came out fighting.

"I'm still the Chief Minister," he said.

"Now I have the choice, do I do the right thing and step aside, or do I say Willem isn't good enough to be Chief Minister?

Mr Giles said that Mr Westra van Holthe had made a "tactical error" and did not have the numbers required to be the chief minister of the Northern Territory.

"Here we are at 2pm in the afternoon and I don't really know what's going to happen," he said.

"I can't support (Willem Westra van Holthe) as chief minister, I think that's a fundamental error.

"I do recognise it provides a high degree of uncertainty for Territorians right now.

"I have been in this situation before, it's just horrible to be here and for all the people reading, watching and listening, all I can do is apologise. It is immature politics.

"If you can't get over the hurdle on the first day in the first minute, what capacity can you have to be chief minister?"

Mr Giles was scathing about the abilities of Mr Westra van Holthe, saying he did not have the "capacity, capability or tenacity or the professionalism to be chief minister".

"'I cannot support Willem Westra van Holthe as chief minister. If you want to change chief minister come talk to me."

There will be a CLP parliamentary wing meeting held at 3.30pm where the issue of who is actually the leader will be discussed.

"There's every possibility we'll be going to an election in the next three months," Mr Giles said.

He also addressed the furore over the resignation of Police Commissioner John McRoberts after conflict of interest allegations, saying he would push for a judicial inquiry.

He also found time to talk about banana freckle.

UPDATE: 11.41am - Bush duo rejoin CLP

ALISON Anderson and Larisa Lee are believed to have farcically rejoined the CLP in order to prop up the ailing new leadership team.

The rebels stormed out of the party, alleging racism, less than 12 months ago.

Willem Westra van Holthe "anointed" himself the Chief Minister last night after securing nine caucus votes. But he was forced to cancel a swearing in ceremony this morning when it became apparent that incumbent Adam Giles would not resign.

Mr Giles is refusing to stand aside until the rebels can prove they can get an absolute majority. That would mean the 13 votes necessary to run parliament and not simply a majority within the CLP party room.

It is understood an envoy has been sent to court independent Gerry Wood's vote in the event Mr Westra van Holthe falls a number short in parliament.

UPDATE: 11.03am - Swearing in ceremony cancelled

THE Territory is engulfed in a leadership crisis, with self-appointed Chief Minister Willem Westra van Holthe forced to cancel a swearing in ceremony this morning because incumbent Adam Giles is refusing to resign.

Nine of the CLP's 14 members have backed Mr Westra van Holthe. Last night he called himself the "Chief Minister apparent".

But it is understood that Administrator John Hardy has been advised he cannot swear in a new Chief Minister. At the moment, Mr Westra van Holthe can only demonstrate he has nine of the 13 votes required in NT Parliament to form a government.

Without the acquiesce of Adam Giles, Dave Tollner, Bess Price, Peter Styles and Kezia Purick, any attempts for Mr Westra van Holthe to run parliament would collapse.

UPDATE: 9.33am - Parliamentary wing at risk of suspension

THE Country Liberals management committee is holding a crisis meeting this morning and is understood to be considering suspending the party's entire parliamentary wing.

The bitter war within the CLP has now raised the very real prospect of an early election.

Van Holthe has anointed himself Chief Minister, after winning the backing of nine party colleagues, but he would still need the entire CLP wing to remain united to form a government.

He could not do so without the votes of Mr Giles's frozen-out supporters: Dave Tollner, Bess Price and Peter Styles.

One MLA who voted to sack Mr Giles told the NT News that the members were fed up with his style of leadership.

"Mostly we were looking at what has happened in Queensland and that painted a pretty clear picture about what happens when you're arrogant," he said. "We didn't have the confidence in [Giles] that he would take that on board and learn from it."

The CLP are now openly at war with each other over the knifing, with Mr Giles's supporters seething over the betrayal.

In an email exchange obtained by the NT News, Ms Purick chastised her colleagues last night for knifing Mr Giles and demanded an official wing vote for the morning.

"Clearly you do not care about electorate or people in the electorates," she wrote. "People want stability and calmness in government, which Adam and Peter C can bring to them.

"You need to think also who will be leader of government business, whip, deputy speaker, chairman of parl(iamentary) committees and the like. This is not about you and your selfish, self serving view of the world, there needs to be consideration of the Territory, all of them everywhere, which I believe you are not doing."

"Willem and John, you need to think you can wrestle control over night and without a vote from the wing. You are wrong."

Sources close to the meeting said Mr Westra van Holthe phoned Adam Giles after the numbers were secured to demand his resignation.

Mr Giles is expected to hold a press conference this morning where it is believed he will stand down as chief minister, but not quit Parliament. The move could throw the party into full blown chaos, as Mr Giles' supporters are seething over the vote.

Rumblings had started to reach a fever pitch that the move was coming yesterday after weeks of discontent among the wing over Mr Giles's leadership style. He had also drawn the ire of some in cabinet for flying out of town on holidays the day after hearing serious allegations against former police commissioner John McRoberts.

The NT News can reveal that Education Minister Robyn Lambley was secretly orchestrating the move to roll Giles with Mr Westra Von Holthe.

Ms Lambley recently flew to the Tiwi Islands to court the caucus vote of Arafura MLA Francis Xavier Kurrupuwu, one of the Country Liberals members seen as a crucial vote to oust Mr Giles.

It is believed Mr Kurupuwu, along with backbencher Lia Finnochiaro and Transport Minister Matt Conlan pledged to vote against Mr Giles by proxy. The other members who signalled they would vote to roll Mr Giles last night were Mr Westra van Holthe, Ms Lambley, former deputy leader Peter Chandler, Gary Higgins and Nathan Barrett.

It is believed those who support Mr Giles were Giles himself, Dave Tollner, Bess Price, Peter Styles and Kezia Purick.

Mr Giles had spent the day in one-on-one interviews telling media and the public that he had learnt valuable lessons from last weekend's Queensland election that saw LNP leader Campbell Newman lose big at the polls. He pledged to be more inclusive of differing opinions on major decisions moving forward.

He told the NT News yesterday afternoon that he was not concerned about any leadership challenges and that he would be leading the party into the 2016 election.


See Even though they want this boong leader out .. he still makes a heap of trouble. Kick this Coon boy out for good! People just don't get that "BOONGS AND POLITICS JUST DON'T BLOODY WORK"!
