The Darwin Local Court hears the NT Children's Commissioner did not face internal disciplinary action after she allegedly attempted to intervene in a recruitment process.

The Darwin Local Court has heard the NT Children's Commissioner did not face internal disciplinary action after allegedly attempting to intervene in a recruitment process.

The court heard Ms Gwynne allegedly tried to overrule the decision of a selection panel, which she was not on, to appoint Laura Dewson to the position of assistant children's commissioner. He said the email raised "serious concerns" about a potential conflict of interest, but he had "no evidence" of one and wanted the matter to be independently investigated.

He denied her consideration for the senior policing role made him more concerned about allegations of an improper recruitment process. The court later heard the Department of Attorney-General and Justice appointed an investigator to look into the circumstances of Ms Gwynne's nomination of Ms Dewson to the role.
