LNP ministers hosting dinners with $11,000 price tag for industry representatives CAMPBELL Newman's ministers are being shopped out at pay-per-view dinners organised by the Liberal National Party for an $11,000 price tag. The Opposition today revealed industry representatives were being invited to six "Regional Round Table" fundraising dinners for a cost of $11,000 each. Agriculture Minister John McVeigh will host the first dinner at an undisclosed Brisbane location tonight. The invitation seeks to circumvent donation rules by saying the event was "fee for service activity." While Labor engaged in similar events in government, Opposition Leader Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Government should not be developing policy behind closed doors for a price. "This new series of fundraisers shows the LNP is only interested in listening to those that can afford to buy their ear," she said. Ms Palaszczuk said the names of those at the dinner would not be released in ministerial diaries because it would be deemed party business. Premier Campbell Newman has defended the events, saying they would be properly declared. Mr Newman said the LNP no choice but to raise money at such events because it had to tackle both Labor and the unions.
