Pickworth Attacks McGinty


Health Minister McGinty gets some of his own medicine.

The West Australian reports that Jenny Pickworth the Health Department legal consultant who claimed Jim McGinty misled Parliament when he said he terminated her contract, has accused Jim McGinty of "presiding over a culture of intimidation and fear" as well as "misleading Parliament for silly political mileage".

Jim McGinty's stupid remarks had severely damaged Ms Pickworth's reputation, according to Kim Hames the Shadow Health Minister.

After the claimed "termination", Ms Pickworth was offered the job of Director of Legal Services of the Health Department, making a further mockery of McGinty's chest-beating claim!

The article states that Pickworth said "she did not believe he treated his staff well". She said Health under Jim McGinty had become a group of frightened people.

Sound very much like the Parliamentary Labor Party to the Desert Rat.

Ms Pickworth said "If you use his treatment of me as an example it sends a message to the rest of the workforce that you don't stand up to Jim".

The Desert Rat thinks that message won't be lost on Jim McGinty - and it won't be news to him.
