NAAJA is an organisation that's been badly mismanaged. It's failed to deliver. It's stopped taking criminal cases in Alice Springs. It's an organisation that repeatedly took a taxpayer funded trip to Darwin against legal advice. It is an organisation that has had its most senior female executive resign, and, as we learned last week, it's an organisation that was found by the Federal Court to have unlawfully sacked its former CEO after she raised allegations of corruption. Will the government step in and take responsibility for an agency that receives federal funding? (Time expired)
