Updated: Under-fire Darwin real estate agent Suzi Milgate continues to miss key dates in her growing list of legal matters, with a court hearing she failed to file material relevant to her defence of an allegation she cream-pied former chief minister Natasha Fyles.

Last week, this masthead reported her application in the Northern Territory Civil and Administrative tribunal to overturn the suspension of her real estate licence had been delayed due to her failure to file her outline of submissions in a timely manner.

On Monday, Darwin Local Court Judge Stephen Geary was told by Crown prosecutor Rhiannon McGlinn that Ms Milgate had been required to file material in support of her claim she suffered from a “mental impairment and/or illness,” but this had not occurred.

Ms Milgate had been given a direction to file this material by June 10.

Ms McGlinn said the defendant’s charge of aggravated assault had been adjourned “numerous” times.

Her charge has been set down for hearing on July 9.

Judge Geary declined to vacate the hearing date, instead setting the matter down for another directions hearing mention on July 2.

Ms Milgate, who did not appear in person – although she was sighted at the court registry at about 10am – was directed to attend.

Milgate’s case to win back licence inches ahead amid tears, allegations

Friday, June 14: Darwin realtor Suzi Milgate, who has been involved in a cascading series of legal actions since allegedly assaulting Natasha Fyles, no longer has a lawyer and her hodgepodge evidence has delayed a tribunal hearing where she will attempt to argue for her career.

Ms Milgate, who exploded into public consciousness when she allegedly cream-pied the former chief minister at Nightcliff Markets, appeared in the Northern Territory Civil and Administrative Tribunal on Thursday.

Ms Milgate has two parallel actions.

The first is to overturn a decision by the Northern Territory Agents Licensing Board to suspend her licence after the board found she had harassed two tenants.

She was separately fined $18,000 for inappropriately turfing a tenant who she discovered maintained an OnlyFans account to make sexualised content.

The second is to renew her licence after it was discovered it had expired, but that she was likely to be refused on the same grounds as her suspension.

NTCAT president Mark O’Reilly observed things “don’t seem to have gone all that smoothly” regarding a previous direction for Ms Milgate to file her written submissions.

While these were required by May 17, Ms Milgate did not file them until Wednesday, disallowing Mr O’Reilly a chance to review them.

Ms Milgate said she no longer retained a lawyer.

“I have no income whatsoever,” she told the tribunal.

Mr O’Reilly asked Ms Milgate if the submissions she filed on Wednesday were all that she would argue before the tribunal, to which she responded, “I might have a few things missing so I might need a bit more time.”

The tribunal president also expressed his inability to comprehend the hodgepodge of evidence he had received thus far from the applicant.

“One of the difficulties I’ve got is that there is an awful lot of material, a lot has been provided in bits and pieces, and parts of it is hard to see what the relevance is,” Mr O’Reilly said.

He requested Ms Milgate compile all the evidence into a single indexed book.

Mr O’Reilly set the two applications down for another directions hearing on August 2, but then asked Ms Milgate if there was anything else she wanted to say.

She launched into a diatribe against the two Bakewell tenants who initially complained to the board, claiming their complaint was “frivolous and vexatious”.

“It’s so obvious that it was to get to me,” she said.

“They are directly affiliated with Natasha Fyles.

“It was politically motivated just to be spiteful.”

She then became teary-eyed when again returning to the issue of her lost livelihood.

“I’ve had no income since February,” Ms Milgate said.

She has pleaded not guilty to assaulting Ms Fyles.

Ms Milgate is also involved in an unrelated NTCAT proceeding as the respondent to claims she unlawfully withheld more than $17,000 in rent and bond payments from a Bellamack tenant.
