NT speaker suspends Jacinta Price legal action

The Speaker of the Northern Territory Parliament has suspended legal action threatened against former Coalition candidate Jacinta Price during last year's federal election. Chansy Paech threatened to sue Ms Price and her mother after they accused him of paying Aboriginal people to vote for the Labor party, a claim he strongly denied. Mr Paech is a Labor MP who has since been installed as the Speaker. He threatened to take legal action over the comments, sending a defamation concerns notice through his lawyers. Mr Paech has now put the legal action on hold telling Sky News he is focused on delivering opportunities for the people of remote NT communities and not pursing an agenda of division and blame.
