Fed: Butler: someone could have a shot at me
Tasmania's Governor-designate RICHARD BUTLER is confident there are no skeletons inhis closet that could compromise his appointment.
But he admits someone could have a shot at him over his ardent criticism of the HOWARDgovernment and claims made by Liberal Senator BRONWYN BISHOP that he was guilty of sexualharassment while ambassador to Thailand in the 1980s.
Mr BUTLER has been reminded of the claims on ABC TV but has dismissed them saying SenatorBISHOP's accusations were made under the cover of parliamentary privilege.
He says none of the allegations had foundation and Senator BISHOP is lucky she nevermentioned them outside parliament.
Tasmanian Premier JIM BACON is unperturbed, saying the publicity is a good thing forMr BUTLER and Tasmania.
