Cabinet hits back on SDP attack

The government has hit back with full force at former commerce secretary and SDP stanchion Gerry Brady over his attack on the Buchanan-Hock administration.

Secretary TJ Norton was first up to the plate to denounce Brady's comments, saying it was poor form from his former team member.

"Gerry often said that we should find ways to work together .. but his comments singled out the SDP and make it nothing more than a political ploy. This demonstrates once and for all that Gerry's sole motivation is to play personal politics and is disgraceful", Norton said.

"If he [Brady] went all the way and was completely honest with the citizenry, he'll also tell you that I was disappointed that there wasn't a better commerce initiative last term. However, like most than came before me I accepted what could get passed in the legislature. My final point in this is critical - Gerry never offered to whip the votes for the Housing Act, either. That goes to show how much support he really gives to his team".

Next up Secretary Dennis McVicker weighed in against the SDP campaign saying that the government was putting forward it's agenda, opting to formulate more careful policy that moving rash initiatives that weren't properly researched and assessed.

The latest but certainly not least hit out of the ballpark came from the boss herself, President Renee Buchanan. The president questioned Brady's motives ahead of the election.

"He's still sad about the Wilberforce loss and it's well known Gerry lacks the maturity to separate politics from service. Titulia remembers this from when he was president and is the perfect poster child not to take Titulia backwards to that era of socialist government", she said.

LRP secretary Malinda Noble said this was nothing new from the Social Democratic Party.

"A do nothing party [SDP] taking a do nothing stance. They couldn't fulfil any of their proposals without Admin and that puts their lack of ability to carry forward an agenda front row for examination. They have no integrity, they had the chance and they blew it every way possible", she said.

"Two months of government reforms can't erase over a year of direct influence by the SDP and their failure to secure Titulia's future. Mr Brady is the last person to be in a position to assign blame. He brings shame to the Social Democratic party".
