A senior Northern Territory police officer will try to get a domestic violence application made against him thrown out, a Darwin court has heard.His lawyer said the application was an abuse of process and said he would try to get it dismissedDarwin Superintendent Daniel Shean, 47, appeared in Darwin Local Court today on the domestic violence list.
"My client's instructions are that the matter be dismissed potentially on two grounds, one, on the face of the affidavit not disclosing any reasonable grounds that something might happen to the protected person, but also on the grounds that it is an abuse of process," he said. He said "the flavour" of text messages between Superintendent Shean and the intended protected person demonstrated the domestic violence court was "not the correct forum to advance the issues that the protected person [is] seeking to advance".and the intended protected person that, in my submission, go no higher than this being a family law dispute, although trying to use the powers in the DVO court," he said.
Seems entirely appropriate if you actually read the article. AVO abuse as a divorce weapon has been going on for decades.
