  1. oh what a wicked web we weave, when we practice to deceive…

    Expose, embarrass and expel.

  2. And the hits just keep on coming. This is gold.

    How long until Gwynny pops up on the telly, plays the victim card and and is then installed as the new Commish?

    • You could do a lot worse, a lot lot worse than giving Colleen Gwynne a call and asking her to come back as Commissioner to sort this whole debacle out.

    • Colleen Gwynn would be an excellent choice for Commissioner

  3. Where will this al end. So many promotions into the executive by Chalker and Murphy since the incident at Lajamanu. It seems like an exercise in circling the wagons to shirld the executive when they were short of supporters.

  4. The whole lot need removing and and recruitment of replacements to be overseen so that no one connected with these clowns gets the job. The NT govt, public service and police hierarchy are incestuous. The NT swamp needs draining.

  5. Mr Dope said he too does not believe there is cronyism in the NT Police and said he would not be conducting a review into Mr Murhpy’s appointments.

    Nothing to see here people. No cronyism at all. Nope, none. Not even a whiff. Or a modicum. Absolutely doesn’t exist. In fact less than that.

    We’ll leave you with this, something the Police know a lot about:

    The doctrine of ‘joint criminal enterprise’ – also known as complicity or acting with a common purpose – provides that a person may be found guilty of a criminal offence in certain circumstances, even if they did not physically participate in the conduct that constitutes the offence itself.

  6. *The Keystone (NT) Cops show continues on unabated…. ROTFLMAO

  7. Mick Murphy, Jody Nobbs, Pete Kennon, Jamie Chalker and Martin Dole….. The Rat Pack of Alice Springs…. Drinking buddies well known. Removed from Lasseter’s Casino and the Simpsons Gap Bar several times for their drunken behaviour. Thick as thieves they are.

  8. In the Northern Territory, we have Australian Federal Police Officers who are based and work in the Northern Territory who are covered by the Fair Work Act (Cth) and their enterprise agreements are approved by and dealt with and are lodged in the Fair Work Commission.

    In the Northern Territory, we have Northern Territory Police Officers who are based and work in the Northern Territory who are not covered by the Fair Work Act (Cth) and their Northern Territory Police Force (NTPF) Consent Agreement 2022 is not lodged in the Fair Work Commission but is lodged in the Northern Territory Police Arbitral Tribunal.

    Is it not time to ensure that all Police officers in the Northern Territory, be they Australian Federal Police Officers and or Northern Territory Police Officers, are covered by the Fair Work Act (Cth) and that their enterprise agreements are approved by and dealt with and are lodged in the Fair Work Commission?

    Is it not time that our Northern Territory Parliament abolishes the Northern Territory Police Arbitral Tribunal so that Northern Territory Police Officers employment matters can be dealt with by the Fair Work Commission?
