ABC In crosshairs: Rebel MLAs Larisa Lee, Alison Anderson and Francis Xavier

Chief Minister Adam Giles has dumped one of three rebel Indigenous MLAs from the parliamentary wing of the Country Liberals.

The Member for Namatjira Alison Anderson will have to move to the cross benches.

It is also possible that a meeting of the Country Liberals executive may move to expel Ms Anderson from the party.

Mr Giles said talks between himself and the three rebel MPs had broken down because the Country Liberals were "being asked to govern with a gun to our heads".

The Country Liberals Government's three indigenous members, Alison Anderson, Larisa Lee and Francis Xavier, have been pressuring Mr Giles for several weeks and presented him with a list of demands.

Mr Giles said the list of demands had gone too far and he would not be held to ransom.

"It has got to a point when it is simply a joke," he said.

The ABC understands their list of demands included creating a new Aboriginal affairs department, making Alison Anderson the minister for Aboriginal affairs, and former chief executive of the Northern Land Council, Norman Fry, her chief of staff.

Larisa Lee wanted to be made minister for youth, sport and recreation, parks and wildlife, and women's affairs.

TORONTO - Ontario's governing Liberals are standing by a decision to award an $81-million private security contract for Toronto's 2015 Pan Am Games to an American company.

They say the Ontario Provincial Police looked at all the bids and decided Contemporary Security Canada best met the requirements.

But the opposition parties are questioning why they passed over an Ontario-based company whose bid was reportedly $14 million lower.

The OPP say they followed all the rules and most of the security guards hired for the Pan Am Games are expected to come from Ontario.

The Liberals point out that CSC has experience in similar large-scale events, including the Olympics, and the cost of the contract falls within their budget for private security.

But the Progressive Conservatives say that kind of experience isn't needed when all the guards will be providing is basic security at each venue.

"These guards in Ontario and Toronto are perfectly capable of providing that basic service to keep the athletes and spectators safe, without going outside of the country for that sort of service," said critic Rod Jackson.

"Especially at a premium of $14 million."

CSC a subsidiary of an international security firm is headquartered in Vancouver, B.C., and is licensed to operate in Ontario, the OPP said.

The OPP is leading the Integrated Security Unit, which also includes Toronto, Hamilton, Durham Region, Peel Region, York Region, Niagara Region, Halton Region and South Simcoe police services, as well as the RCMP.
