— Minister Edghill says gifts cost $2.4M, calls on Integrity Commission to investigate matter
AFTER being implicated in receiving a number of pricey, shiny birthday gifts from agencies that fell under his watch as Minister of Public Infrastructure, a former minister with that portfolio David Patterson has admitted to receiving the items.
