Northern Territory Police say an officer who shared a photo of a half-naked distressed Aboriginal woman with colleagues in a group chat will not face a criminal investigation, partly because he had received an internal punishment of 12 months’ good behaviour, while the agency has refused to say whether the woman was asked if she wanted the matter investigated.
The police’s inaction on the matter comes as a former officer said the conduct could be criminal, while an Indigenous advocate said the NT Police’s poor response raised serious questions about its culture and integrity.
Who would join the NT Police, forever under attack by the media, the Labor Party, the lower courts and the made-up culture?
