Minister faces call to quit over financial links to stricken energy company

Opposition Leader Mike Nahan today called on the Minister to stand down."Before she came into Parliament she prompted a project for a firm she had shares in without a business case.

"When the project was first announced, she brought Carnegie to the Labor Party's announcement [which] indicated clearly that they were going to win it." Ms MacTiernan has not told Parliament about how much she was paid in cash for her work for EMC, but she confirmed in response to ABC questions it was"less than $30,000".

Documents obtained by the ABC under freedom of information show the Minister continued to oversee the Albany project after it was won by Carnegie, giving the final tick of approval to its $16 million contract.
