Week-long defamation trial of Senator Price wraps up in the Federal Court in Darwin | ABC NEWS
A seven-day defamation trial against senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price in the Federal Court has wrapped in Darwin.
The senator is being sued by Central Land Council CEO, Lesley Turner, over a media release distributed by her office in 2024.
The release called for a change in council leadership, and repeated claims made by former chairman Matt Palmer, alleging the CEO had faced a no-confidence motion.
On the final day, the senator was accused of failing to check the truth of her claims about the CLC boss. Court reporter Olivana Lathouris has this piece for ABC News Northern Territory.
