FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
A NSW MP being referred to the state’s corruption watchdog denies any conflict of interest over accepting a trip from a gas company while considering coal seam gas laws.
Liberal MP Scot MacDonald’s flights and accommodation for the National Conference of Vegetable Farmers in Tasmania were paid for by gas company Santos.
That happened days after he spoke in favour of expanding NSW’s coal seam gas (CSG) industry during a parliamentary inquiry, Greens MP Jeremy Buckingham says.
He plans to refer Mr MacDonald to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) on Thursday.
Mr Buckingham claims Mr MacDonald breached the parliamentary code of conduct by receiving a gift from Santos while considering legislation and regulations for the gas industry.
Mr MacDonald declared the trip in his pecuniary interest register.
On Thursday he rejected Mr Buckingham’s claim, saying he had complied with parliamentary guidelines.
“I was quite open about attending the conference,” he said in a statement.
“It’s a shame Mr Buckingham would prefer to try and personally smear me, rather than engage in serious debate on coal seam gas.”
Mr MacDonald said he often spoke about the importance of CSG for both industry and households in NSW.
