Lawyers representing federal MP Luke Gosling are requesting that assault charges be dropped. The charges stem from an incident involving David Connolly, the Administrator of the Northern Territory. The legal team intends to formally write to Sophie Callan SC, recently appointed as the prosecutor, urging her to review the case. They are advocating for the withdrawal of the charges against Gosling. The incident’s details have not been publicly released, but the legal move suggests a challenge to the prosecution’s case. This development comes as a significant step in Gosling's defence against the allegations in the Northern Territory.
