Labor slams NT govt over inducements

JUST two days after securing a vital number from the defection of a PUP member, the NT government has announced new funding for his electorate.

LABOR has slammed the NT government's "cynical" and "shameless" actions after it announced projects on the Tiwi Islands a day after insisting no inducements were made to lure back the local member.

FRANCIS Xavier Kurrupuwu, a senior elder from the Tiwi Islands and member for Arafura, rejoined the Country Liberals (CLP) on Monday after resigning from the Palmer United Party.
