We don’t publish rumours. This is an exception. Bear in mind, if you haven’t heard a rumour in Alice Springs by 10am, start one.
The following is a from a pretty good source, quoting from “texts, emails and phone calls flying around at a great rate of knots”.
This is where the rebels, who last night dumped Adam Giles, are at (right now – things are changing by the minute).
If some CLP Members defect, the parliamentary CLP wouldn’t have the numbers to govern.
In The Centre Matt Conlan (Greatorex) was against Giles (Braitling) but is getting cold feet.
Robyn Lambley (Araluen) is firmly against Giles.
Bess Price (Stuart) wasn’t even invited to the meeting last night because she’s known to be solidly behind Giles.
The rebels are talking to Alison Anderson (Namatjira) and her Top End PUP colleague Larissa Lee. Anderson doesn’t like Giles, having called him a little boy.
A week is a long time in government? Try one hour.
