A Darwin hostel manager has questioned whether the Finocchiaro Government would care more about her if she had been killed during a violent bashing allegedly at the hands of a man who was described as “not safe to be released into the general community”, who was booked into her hostel by a government contractor without disclosing his violent history, adding the government was “causing crime” by neglecting its responsibilities.
Kathy Mills runs the Silas Roberts Hostel in Larrakeyah and says she was assaulted in July by Geoffrey Wanambi, 57, who court records show has more than 40 convictions for violent offences, but was booked into her facility by NAAJA’s Throughcare program on the day he was released from jail, after serving roughly seven years for assault.
Protection of citizens, a primary responsibility of Government. Ms Mills has every right to hold CLP to account. “TRANSPARENCY – ACCOUNTABILITY – RESPONSIBILITY”
To be fair NAAJA lawyers usually take their clients home….
Has that case settled? Did the NAAJA lawyer get disbarred?
