NSW’s top prosecutor gave false evidence on media leak about young Indigenous offender, inquiry finds

A New South Wales parliamentary committee found that the state’s top prosecutor, Sally Dowling, authorized pitching a story to a radio station about a sentencing hearing involving a young person and falsely denied doing so under oath. The inquiry recommended the attorney general investigate whether there are grounds to remove Dowling from office, despite her admission that her office pitched the story and colleagues defending her integrity.
