Wednesday 10 September 2008

MEDIA BRIEFING NOTE LEE RHIANNON MLC 8 September 2008


Greens analysis of the donations disclosed by Premier Nathan Rees' new Cabinet Ministers today shows that they have taken nearly $2 million in campaign donations, and the biggest fundraisers have been rewarded most highly in the reshuffle.
