Labor MP facing assault charges accused of bail breach
Police say Luke Gosling breached bail conditions on August 14 after assault charges over alleged incidents with Northern Territory Administrator David Connolly.
- On Tuesday, Northern Territory Police served Federal Labor MP Luke Gosling with a summons for allegedly breaching bail conditions on August 14, with a court appearance scheduled for September 30.
- The breach charge follows Gosling's arrest last month on two counts of assaulting Northern Territory Administrator David Connolly at the Darwin Thai Grand Festival on July 18.
- Darwin Local Court previously mandated that Gosling maintain a 15-metre distance from Connolly at public events, provide 48 hours' notice before attending, and stay 50 metres from the Northern Territory Government House.
- Gosling's office denied the alleged breach, stating the MP did not cross paths with the administrator during an August 14 cricket match, and intends to contest the charge.
- Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has renewed calls for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to remove Gosling from his special envoy role, though Albanese has resisted these demands.
