'Cost of incompetence is massive': Emerson calls on ACT to find legal bill savings

Independent Thomas Emerson has called on the ACT to cut the multimillion-dollar cost of its own incompetence and make fixes so fewer Canberrans need to sue the territory government.

Mr Emerson has fired back after the government criticised two parliamentary inquiries into government budgets and spending as calling for more spending rather than outlining where public money could be saved.
