This situation bears an amazing resemblance to the political situation here in the NT:
All bodies of power and influence in a given situation – here it is ICAC, DPP, NT Police – are staffed by people who for one reason or another will circle the wagons to protect themselves from an outside entity who threatens their hegemony.
The political system is the same: both ALP and CLP control the staffing in these bodies and the 2 main parties ‘vote’ as one elite political group in certain areas when they all feel threatened, eg the incredible non-enforcement of policies and/or legislation when it comes to sanctioning one of their own or one or more of their friends (Gunner using of public money for electioneering, the collective refusal to pretend to care about the IEPS fraud, the protection of ‘corrupt’ public servants’ names from public view etc) they either appointed or would come back to bite them should the balance of power change in the future, as it always does from ALP to CLP back to ALP and onto CLP, like a stagnant and uncomfortable metronome.
Nobody wants to be accountable. Rearrangement of the deck chairs is futile. Sooner or later the ship will sink. This comes on a day when the CEO of terrible families announces her departure and takes her partner from the department with her.
I take it that Zac Rolfe or whoever fed him this TRG historical stuff, was going to bring it into the light at some point before Yuendumu? I guess he just got busy. And I don’t for a minute agree with his arrest for murder on any level. But bringing down other people is low. Yes back in the day there were many politically incorrect jokes, awards etc. But can we also look at the records of these 5 officers? I mean Zac was awarded a bravery award and went on the record saying he bought the unloved children of Alice Springs meals and so forth.

Dear NT DPP Lloyd Babb,
After handballing some recent matters off to the ICAC we guessed you might have some free time on your hands so the kids and I thought we’d offer you some suggestions on how to fill all the extra time you must now have. It’s amazing what you can find if you have an inquisitive mind. Thank us later.
First stop, NT DPP GOV AU website:
GUIDELINES OF THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC PROSECUTIONS
1. ROLES AND DUTIES OF THE PROSECUTOR
1.1 The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) is independent and represents the community and not any private or sectional interest.
1.2 The prosecutor owes a duty of fairness to the court and the community. The community’s interest is two-fold: that those who are guilty be brought to justice and that those who are innocent not be wrongly convicted. The prosecutor’s role is to assist the court and do justice between the community and the offender according to law and the dictates of fairness.
Importantly a prosecutor:
(1) has the duty to act fairly and impartially;
Next, NT GOV AU website:
Statutory declarations
A statutory declaration is a legal document that you sign to state something is true.
Making a false statement in a statutory declaration is against the law, and you can be:
given a fine
and/or a prison sentence of up to three years.
Next, download a NT GOV statutory declaration form from their website. Take note of ‘NOTE’ 2:
NOTE: This written statutory declaration must comply with Part 4 of the Oaths Affidavits and Declarations Act 2010.
Next, go to another NT GOV website called: Legislation NT GOV AU. Check under ‘Acts’ letter ‘O’ for Oaths Affidavits and Declarations Act 2010.
Section 19: Written statutory declaration (2) A written statutory declaration must conclude with a statement:
(a) that the declaration is true; and
(b) to the effect that the person making the declaration knows it is an offence to make a statutory declaration that is false in any material particular;
Next, go back to the start and read Section 4: Application of Criminal Code
Part IIAA of the Criminal Code applies to an offence against this Act.
Note for section 4 Part IIAA of the Criminal Code states the general principles of criminal responsibility, establishes general defences, and deals with burden of proof. It also defines, or elaborates on, certain concepts commonly used in the creation of offences.
Next, check under ‘Acts’ letter ‘C’ for Criminal Code Act 1983, search for the words ‘statutory dec’, check the 2 places in the Act where those words are.
Go to Section 119 where it states quite clearly (note that this is the second time you should have read it is an offence to make a false statutory declaration, in case you missed the first one):
Division 7 Miscellaneous offences against public authority
119 False declarations and statements
Any person who, on any occasion on which he or she is permitted or required by law:
(a) to make a statutory declaration or an unattested declaration as provided for in the Oaths, Affidavits and Declarations Act 2010; or
(b) to make a statement or declaration of any other kind before any person authorised by law to permit it to be made before him or her;
makes such a declaration or statement that, in any material particular, is to his or her knowledge false, is guilty of an offence and is liable to imprisonment for 3 years.
Next, return to your DPP NT GOV AU website Guidelines and re-read:
2. THE DECISION TO PROSECUTE
2.1 The prosecution process should be initiated or continued whenever it appears that there is a reasonable prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest.
Wonder at the absurdity of all of this and then, continue wondering, if you have a reasonable prospect of conviction now that all the Police officers have been named publicly and called liars in the media, that their statutory declarations are easy to obtain and check for lies and that none of them have sued anyone for defamation for calling them lying Police officers or claiming that people tried to destroy evidence, publicly.
Next, stop and think for a few minutes about what your obligations to the public interest are.
If you are unable to rekindle them in your mind then phone a friend and tell them to visit the NT Local Court website to access information on starting a private prosecution against the lying Police Officers and any of their enablers, including every single person involved in this tawdry episode, all the way up to and including the Chief Minister LiaR Finocchiaro.
Before you do that, re-read the Criminal Code 1983 Act, Sections 12 and 13: Division 3
Parties to offences
12 Abettors and accessories before the fact
(1) When an offence is committed, the following persons also are deemed to have taken part in committing the offence and may be charged with actually committing it:
(a) every person who aids another in committing the offence; (b) every person who does or omits to do any act for the purpose of enabling or aiding another to commit the offence; and (c) every person who counsels or procures another to commit the offence
(2) A person who counsels or procures another to commit an offence may be charged with committing the offence or counselling or procuring its commission.
(3) A finding of guilt of counselling or procuring the commission of an offence entails the same consequences in all respects as a finding of guilt of committing the offence.
13 Accessories after the fact
(1) A person who receives or assists another who, to his knowledge, has committed an offence in order to enable him to escape prosecution becomes an accessory after the fact to the offence.
(2) The rule of law under which a wife cannot be an accessory after the fact to an offence committed by her husband is abolished.
Then from the NT Local Court website: In this case we think you should ignore the first sentence’s advice of ‘speaking with the police before you do so’:
Court users can also start private prosecutions for criminal matters however it is recommended you speak with the police before doing so.
Local Court (criminal) – Getting Started
The procedure is set out in the Local Court (Criminal Jurisdiction) Rules. The person who is starting the proceedings before the court is known as the ‘Complainant’ and the person answering the charge is the ‘Defendant’.
A criminal charge is laid (started) in the Local Court by a document called a Complaint or an Information depending on how serious the charge is as alleged. You have to present to a registry of the Local Court and you must include in your Complaint or Information, the date and time you say the offence took place, the name and date of birth of the Defendant, and what law you say has been broken. If you have sufficient information then the charge will be entered into the system and a date will be set for the first mention. It will be then up to you to serve a summons on the defendant to get them to court.
Yours sincerely, Concerned Crew

More coming soon…..
Nobody wants to be accountable. Rearrangement of the deck chairs is futile. Sooner or later the ship will sink. This comes on a day when the CEO of terrible families announces her departure and takes her partner from the department with her.
I take it that Zac Rolfe or whoever fed him this TRG historical stuff, was going to bring it into the light at some point before Yuendumu? I guess he just got busy.
And I don’t for a minute agree with his arrest for murder on any level. But bringing down other people is low.

They where willing to throw one of their own under the bus to curry favor with Gunner, they deserve everything they get.
