McCully Must Disclose Legal Advice
The Taxpayers’ Union is calling on Foreign Affairs Minister, Murray McCully, to publicly release the legal advice relating to the Saudi sheep deal.
Taxpayers’ Union Executive Director, Jordan Williams, says:
“We are calling for the public release of the legal advice which formed the basis of Mr McCully’s Cabinet paper. Our own legal advice is that a genuine claim is highly unlikely. Now that the dispute has been settled, there can be no prejudice to the Crown.”
“Taxpayers have a right to know whether Government decisions on complicated trade disputes involving their money are based on sound legal advice.”
“With politicians referring to this deal as a multi-million dollar bribe, Mr McCully should release the documents to dispel such suspicion.”
