参议员Jacinta Nampijinpa Price正面临中央土地委员会CEO Lesley Turner的诽谤诉讼案, Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is facing a defamation lawsuit from Central Land Council CEO Lesley Turner over a July 2024 media release falsely claiming a no-confidence motion had been passed against him. 法院听取了Price及其工作人员在未核实其准确性的情况下发表了声明,尽管土地委员会主席Matthew Palmer事先发布的一份声明前后不一致,该声明受到Gavin Morris的影响,Gavin Morris曾是因袭击学生而被定罪的学校校长。 The court heard Price and her staff published the statement without verifying its accuracy, despite inconsistencies in a prior release from land council chair Matthew Palmer, which was influenced by Gavin Morris—a former school principal convicted of assaulting students. NT News根据这一申诉撤回了文章,并道歉。 The NT News retracted its article based on the claim and apologized. Turner的律师认为Price忽略了红旗,没有纠正记录,从不道歉,而Price放弃了真理辩护,现在依赖合格的特权,声称她的行为是合理的。 Turner’s lawyer argued Price ignored red flags, failed to correct the record, and never apologized, while Price has dropped a truth defense and now relies on qualified privilege, claiming her actions were reasonable. 该案的审理时间定为7天。 The case is set for seven days of hearings.
