Breaking: Luke Gosling charged with breach of bail just weeks after alleged assaults
Another charge has been laid against Federal Labor MP Luke Gosling, with NT Police alleging his conditions were breached just weeks after he was granted bail by a court.
Federal Labor MP Luke Gosling has been charged with breach of bail, according to NT Police. The alleged breach allegedly took place on August 14. Gosling's bail conditions included not coming within 50 metres of Government House, where NT Administrator David Connolly resides. If the two were to attend the same event, Gosling was ordered to maintain a 15-metre distance from Connolly.
However, Gosling attended no events with Connolly on the alleged date of the breach. The Prime Minister's office and Gosling's office have been contacted for comment, but neither have provided any information regarding the alleged breach. Gosling faces two counts of assault, stemming from incidents that allegedly occurred within 30 minutes of each other in July. His lawyer has stated that the charges will be contested in court.
