  "The NT DPP filed to appeal the inadequate sentence on September 19, a development spurred by the announcement earlier that day that Danby is the NT Attorney General’s nephew."

  I wonder how many people who thought the sentence was far too light, would have an "Ah-ha!" moment on learning about that relationship?

    Gods damn it. I hope they’re successful in this, and that the Attorney General is forced to resign over this.

      It seems the light sentence was such a surprise to him:

      "Mr Danby, who did not stop or return to the scene and was driving unlicensed in an unregistered car, later told a friend after the deaths: "I do have to hand myself in, but I ain't getting jail time. I'm a Danby, we don't go to jail."
