The ACT Chief Minister has published a media release where Mary Porter, the Member for Ginninderra, has called on Mark Parton, ex-106.3 Radio Presenter and current 2CC Radio presenter to “apologise for misleading the 3785 residents of Ginninderra who believed him when he said he wanted to be ‘The Voice of Reason’ in the Legislative Assembly” when he was an independent candidate for Ginninderra at the last election.

Ms Porter was responding to Parton’s claim on 2CC this morning that the ACT Legislative Assembly was ‘our pretend parliament’.“Rather than being the ‘Voice of Reason’ it seems to me that Mr Parton will say whatever he believes to be appropriate at the time”, Ms Porter said.

“When he was a candidate he thought he should to tell people it was important that they vote for him so he would be able to influence decisions that would affect them. His website declared that he stood for ‘openness and honesty in Government’ but now that he is a ‘shock jock’ he obviously believes there is greater mileage in making derogatory comments about the institution that he sought to be a member of.

Given that the residents of Ginninderra now know what Mr Parton really feels about the Legislative Assembly at least we can be assured that he will not stand again in 2012, although on his past record, who can possibly know what he really thinks.”

There is nothing in Mark’s blog site yet but I am sure we will see something in the next few hours about it.  http://partonwords.blogspot.com/ official site http://www.markparton.com/portal/
