A senior Northern Territory police officer will try to get a domestic violence application made against him thrown out, a Darwin court has heard.His lawyer said the application was an abuse of process and said he would try to get it dismissedDarwin Superintendent Daniel Shean, 47, appeared in Darwin Local Court today on the domestic violence list.
"My client's instructions are that the matter be dismissed potentially on two grounds, one, on the face of the affidavit not disclosing any reasonable grounds that something might happen to the protected person, but also on the grounds that it is an abuse of process," he said. He said "the flavour" of text messages between Superintendent Shean and the intended protected person demonstrated the domestic violence court was "not the correct forum to advance the issues that the protected person [is] seeking to advance".and the intended protected person that, in my submission, go no higher than this being a family law dispute, although trying to use the powers in the DVO court," he said.

NT government denies it forgot to order vaccine shipment | Sky News AustraliaThe Northern Territory government has denied claims it forgot to order more doses of the COVID-19 vaccine as it prepares to administer the jab to remote Indigenous communities from next week. \n\nAs many NT frontline staff are receiving their second dose of the vaccine, the government is turning its focus to phase 1b of the rollout – which will see Indigenous health organisations begin to inoculate Indigenous Australians with the AstraZeneca jab.\n\nA shipment of more than 1,400 doses failed to arrive in the Top End on March 12 as planned, with the federal government claiming the NT government never placed an order or submitted a delivery address. \n\nNT Health Minister Natasha Fyles denied the assertion, however, saying “it wasn’t a matter of forgetting to order a vaccine or an administrative error”. \n\n“It was simply the vaccine was approved once we’d started our rollout, the Commonwealth offered it to the Northern Territory, we indicated yes we would take it, but as we worked through those details we didn’t need the vaccine,” she said. \n\n\n Hmm ... 📸 but Labor Labor Labor 🤦🏻♂️ Again 🤷🏻♂️
