There are calls for the entire board of Australia’s largest Aboriginal legal service to be sacked after the organisation was forced to issue a public apology to the chief executive it tried to sack.
A prominent barrister has called for the entire board of Australia's largest Aboriginal legal service to be sacked after the embattled organisation issued an apology to its former CEO this week.
Darwin barrister John Lawrence SC, a former principal legal officer at NAAJA and head of the NT Criminal Lawyers Association, said heads needed to roll.“Concomitant with such an announcement one would expect that they would resign en masse, but of course they haven’t.” Northern Territory Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro also called on the Federal Government to take action.
