Ken Ticehurst (Dobell, Liberal Party) Share this | Hansard source

In an adjournment speech in the last sitting week on 1 June, I was forcefully and unjustifiably accused of making direct threats to the Central Coast Mariners. The member for Shortland claimed that as a direct result of threats by the member for Dobell the coach of the Mariners withdrew as patron of the Coastal Voice. I do not know anybody at all on the Mariners; I have never spoken to them. This Coastal Voice is a Labor Party front. She also went on to say that the Coastal Voice will publish numerous emails and comments sent from the member for Dobell. I have not done that. She also then accused my staff of sending nasty and scurrilous emails. They have not done that. These are all false claims and all they are trying to do is cover up a Labor Party front.
