NT agrees on anti-corruption body

THE NT's CLP government has been dogged by calls for the creation of a corruption watchdog following a series of scandals, and now it has finally agreed.

THE Northern Territory's Country Liberals government has been "dragged kicking and screaming" to finally set up an independent anti-corruption commission.

ALTHOUGH both the government and Labor opposition had motions proposing two different ICAC models, it was a motion by independent Gerry Wood which was passed by parliament on Wednesday.
