A 24-year-old man was arrested and charged with sexual intercourse without consent after he allegedly assaulted a woman near the Darwin Bus Exchange at 2pm on September 28. "The victims in these matters are both being cared for through the right counselling processes," Assistant Commissioner Wurst said."It's disgusting behaviour, it's grotesque the way it occurred in public at that point in time.""The community should be reassured by the fact that police are out there every day 24/7 to keep the community safe," he said.
"These [allegedly] happened in our busy laneways, our busy streets, where we have foot traffic, people walking around," Ms Palmer said. Shadow Minister for Small Business, Marie-Clare Boothby said the Country Liberal Party's solution would be to make "stronger laws" to keep would-be offenders off the streets.

Birmingham calls on Catherine King to ‘front up’ to Senate inquiry into aviationShadow Foreign Minister Simon Birmingham has called on Transport Minister Catherine King to “front up” to the Senate inquiry into aviation. Ms King has said she won’t be attending the inquiry, calling it a political stunt. “Why would she show up? Because that’s what her office said needed to happen if this committee was to get answers,” Mr Birmingham told Sky News Australia. “Last week when Catherine King’s department was sitting infront of the Senate inquiry and were asked some pretty factual questions, they said we’ll check with the minister’s office. 'They checked with the minister’s office and the response they got was for the minister’s office to say if the committee wants to know, they should ask the minister – well, then the minister should front up.”

Catherine King refuses to attend Senate Inquiry into Qatar Airways decisionTransport Minister Catherine King is refusing to appear before the Senate Inquiry into examining the government’s decision to block extra Qatar Airways flights from coming into Australia. “It is highly unusual for House of Representatives Ministers to appear before Senate inquiries,” Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said. “But the Prime Minister was wrong this morning to say it never happened,' he said. Mr Clennell stated former prime minister Scott Morrison appeared before the senate in 2014 when he was immigration minister to speak about the government’s boat turnback policy and Labor minister Ross Free also appeared before the senate in 1992. Clennell’s comments come as Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Wednesday said “no House of Representatives member has ever appeared before a Senate inquiry, this is a stunt”.

Richard Marles ‘a failed Defence Minister’ for committing to ‘symbolism of AUKUS’The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says Australians have to draw the conclusion “Richard Marles is a failed Defence Minister” with Australia’s current defensive structure. While AUKUS is Australia’s biggest defense investment, the nuclear submarines will not be operational until the late 2030s with no immediate missile programs acquired despite Indo-Pacific tensions. “The government has decided, because it has committed to the symbolism of AUKUS, it is not going to do anything about acquiring a military ability for Australia over the next ten years,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News Australia. “And this sort of nonsense of moving a few blokes from Adelaide to Brisbane and then trying to sell the media that this is a dramatic restructuring and it’s all about deterring China. “This is the worst of Australian Defence Syndrome – where we do nothing but we talk a big game.”
