Alcohol orders invalid: NT Supreme Court
A NT Supreme Court ruling may have thrown into question hundreds of alcohol protection orders issued by police to drinkers.
HUNDREDS of Alcohol Protection Orders (APO) issued by the Northern Territory Police may be invalid and are racially discriminatory, says an Aboriginal justice agency.
THE NT Supreme Court on Friday found that police had not validly issued an APO to Isidore Nummar while he was in protective custody in December, and so the subsequent four orders issued to him over the following months were all also invalid.
