UPDATED | Liberal-in-exile Sam Duluk could still face political sanctions despite being found not guilty of assaulting SA Best MLC Connie Bonaros at an alcohol-fuelled Parliament House Christmas Party, with a magistrate finding the MP’s behaviour was “rude, unpleasant, insensitive and disrespectful”.
Premier Steven Marshall appears to have softened his stance on the prospect of Liberal exile Sam Duluk re-joining his party-room if he is acquitted of a charge of basic assault next month.
The QC defending Liberal exile Sam Duluk has invoked the case of Cardinal George Pell in arguing why the MP should be cleared of a charge of basic assault.
Police investigating an alleged assault by Liberal exile Sam Duluk were not aware of a photograph featuring the Waite MP with his accuser, SA Best MLC Connie Bonaros, until three weeks ago, a court has been told.
