NSW:ICAC asked to investigate Stoner
The New South Wales opposition has ramped up their attack on Deputy Premier ANDREW
STONER - by referring his Solar Bonus Scheme application to the Independent Commission
Against Corruption.
Mr STONER has come under fire from opposition leader JOHN ROBERTSON this week for reportedly
rushing out of parliament on October 27, 2010 to sign up to the scheme - just hours before
the generous feed-in tariff was slashed.
The former Labor government reduced the feed-in rate from 60 to 20 cents per kilowatt
hour after more householders than expected signed up, causing a budget blow-out.
Mr ROBERTSON says the matter was referred to ICAC this afternoon claiming Mr Stoner
may have used his position as a Local MP for financial gain.
