Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price is sued for defamation over false claim about a no-confidence vote against land council CEO Lesley Turner.
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.
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.
The NT News retracted its article based on the claim and apologized.
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.
The case is set for seven days of hearings.
