Northern Territory Chief Minister issues statement 11 March

NT Government

The justice system has done what was required of it – 12 of our fellow Territorians have considered all of the evidence before them, and delivered a verdict.

I acknowledge the pain the death has caused for the deceased’s family and the Yuendumu community, who are in mourning.

I also acknowledge and appreciate the hard work of our policemen and women – who undertake their duties in difficult and often very dangerous environments. Their work is valued and respected.

The justice system has completed its process, and now it is a time for healing.

No court alone can bridge divisions in our community or rebuild trust. That’s a task for all of us.
