NT political donation inquiry rescinded

THE NT government has been accused of hiding from public scrutiny and supporting corruption after rescinding a motion to look at political donations.

A WIDE-RANGING inquiry into political donations promised by the Northern Territory government has been dumped for one narrower in focus, much to the outrage of the opposition.

THE NT's only independent member Gerry Wood succeeded in August in passing a motion to hold an inquiry to examine donations over the past 20 years.
