'I value integrity,' said Matthew Guy, as he accepted the resignation of his chief of staff, Mitch Catlin. | paulsakkal annikasmethurst
revealed details of the contract which would have required a wealthy unnamed donor to pay $8333 a month to Catlin’s private marketing company, Catchy Media Marketing and Management, for services as a contractor described as “supporting business interests”.A party room meeting of Liberal MPs was delayed on Tuesday morning as the opposition faced questions about the proposed Catlin contract for monthly payments in addition to his taxpayer-funded salary.
Liberal Party MPs were supposed to meet at 8am on the first day back to parliament after the winter break, but the meeting was delayed until 10am, and their joint meeting with Nationals colleagues was put off until 10.45am.Shadow health minister Georgie Crozier and emergency services spokesman Brad Battin both said they had read today’s story but were unaware of the details of the proposed deal.
Labor minister Danny Pearson said the opposition needs to “come clean”, demanding Guy reveal his involvement in the proposal.“Guy is putting himself up as the alternative premier ... this goes to his credibility. “He’s got serious questions to answer, including are these arrangements being used to get around the strictest donation laws in the country?”
