The A-G's report, which was concluded in October last year, states that the dodgy deal relates to a piece of land sold by the council.

From October 2011 to February 2012; i took about 4months for premier to "promise" action, will take another 8months to "carefully study" the AG's report...then culprits will be re-deployed elsewhere.

This comrade must elaborate what "decisive action" means to her. What is she doing to uplift the North West? Sun City is the only place visible on the map
