针对联邦工党议员Luke Gosling的一项违反保释规定指控,已由检察官Jo Poole在达尔文地方法院(Darwin Local Court)撤回。未说明原因。Gosling的律师Marty Aust SC表示,此次决定只是为其就所有指控进行辩护迈出的第一步。Gosling继续否认这些指控。他仍面临两项指控,即今年7月在达尔文一场节庆活动中袭击北领地总督David Connolly。相关袭击案件将于11月25日重新开庭。
The Alfred医院(阿尔弗雷德医院)表示,联邦议员Helen Haines病情严重但稳定,这是事发以来的首次好转。65岁的Helen Haines于10月19日在Wangaratta其办公室外遭一辆LandCruiser据称撞击,身受重伤。为挽救她的生命,她双腿均被截肢。警方指称此次袭击属于蓄意行为,并称43岁的Brendan Nugent面临多项指控。她的丈夫Phil形容她是一位斗士。为她设立的筹款活动已筹集到近100万澳元。
Brendan Nugent, 43, has been charged over an alleged deliberate attack on independent MP Helen Haines outside her Wangaratta office. Police have not ruled out further charges, including attempted murder. Haines remains in a critical but stable condition after emergency surgery. In court, Nugent's lawyer said he has a neurological condition and raised concerns about his mental health. Nugent was remanded in custody, and federal police say establishing a motive is the investigation's first priority.
