Fed: Tuckey calls ACT Chief Minister delinquent, paper says
CANBERRA, Aug 23 AAP - Federal Territories Minister Wilson Tuckey extended his intemperateletter-writing to ACT Chief Minister Jon Stanhope, calling him clearly delinquent, theCanberra Times reported today.
The paper said the minister accused Mr Stanhope of selectively applying the law inignoring drug abuse, assaults and threats at the Aboriginal Tent Embassy - a long-runningcontentious issue in Canberra.
It said he had also attacked the ACT Police, suggesting they were siding with the tentembassy residents instead of enforcing the law.
Mr Tuckey has been in hot water recently in federal parliament over three letters hewrote to the South Australian Police Minister seeking to overturn his son's traffic fine.
He pulled no punches in his letter to Mr Stanhope.
"When politicians ignore the laws that they have created or misapply them in a differentialfashion the end result is that people take the law into their own hands," Mr Tuckey'sletter reportedly said.
"In this regard, Chief Minister, it is you, not I, who is the guilty party.
"I do not need gratuitous advice from someone who is so clearly delinquent in the managementof his responsibilities in the areas of law and order, public health and family welfare."
