Political staffer alleges she was ordered to campaign for Liberal candidate

Sharee Minnikin-Smith told a parliamentary committee on Friday that she was ordered to campaign for Liberal candidate Jane Howlett while employed as a taxpayer-funded staffer. She said her work was "100 per cent for Jane Howlett" during office hours. The state government said these claims are incorrect and denied them.
