Carter's conflict of interest












As a councillor :-) I am bound by the rules around conflict of interest and so the issue that is emerging around Agriculture Minister David Carter interests me very much. He's seemingly done some very dodgy and illegal things involving a company he has close involvement with and a decision regarding the killing of animals for the Jewish market.
Marty at The Standard covers this here and says "Carter must go."

"Agriculture Minister David Carter has been exposed abusing his ministerial powers to protect the trade interests of his private investments. Earlier this year, Carter banned Jewish religious slaughtering practices because of perceived risks to the meat trade with Muslim nations after being briefed companies he owns that take part in the trade."
