An interstate lawyer who was involved in the Eddie Obeid corruption case has been engaged by the NT DPP to prosecute Federal MP Luke Gosling’s criminal assault matter after Commonwealth prosecutors rejected the case last month, amid the acting NT DPP’s move to avoid a “perceived conflict of interest” in the matter.
Mr Gosling was charged with two counts of assaulting Administrator David Connolly in July, following an alleged incident at the NT Thai Festival. The charges are more serious than common assault as they relate to the NT Administrator and carry a maximum prison sentence of 14 years.
When it comes to scalping a Labour Senator, the amount of CLP run NT Government funds available to be spent would be eye watering!
The Blue Hills saga via radio years ago was a better show than this one.
What is it costing the NT when somewhat more important issues seriously need funding.
Sir in rare instances like this, the political elite would sacrifice a public school or a medical clinic in legal fees to scalp that lovely gentlemen!
