Federal Labor MP Luke Gosling, the member for Solomon, is arrested by Northern Territory Police over allegations involving the Northern Territory’s administrator, David Connolly. Police say the arrest relates to an alleged assault on Connolly at a public event earlier this month. Multiple outlets report the incident occurred on July 18, when Gosling was at a festival.
Gosling, who is 54, is taken into custody following the arrest, and several reports state he remains in police custody as the matter is dealt with. Police confirm the arrest in a statement, describing it as an alleged assault on the administrator.
One report notes Gosling had previously denied an alleged incident with the administrator, referencing earlier responses to the allegations. Across the coverage, the key points remain focused on the arrest, the alleged conduct, the location and timing of the event, and Gosling’s age and parliamentary role. The reports do not provide further details on the alleged assault beyond police characterisation and the event date.
