Ben Aulich – an update from our Managing Partner

On Friday, August 26 I represented my colleague Ben Aulich in the Canberra Magistrate’s Court regarding the jurisdiction in which the charges against him will be heard.

Some media reports on this hearing have stated, inaccurately, that Ben was to be the recipient of proceeds of an alleged crime.

No evidence of this nature was presented in court, nor will there be, as no such evidence exists and Ben is not guilty of the alleged offences with which he’s been charged.

While we respect the media’s right to provide fair and accurate reporting on matters such as this, the inferences made by some reporters have no basis in fact and do not accurately reflect the statements made in court.

We will be seeking retractions from those media outlets that have published inaccurate information.

We thank you for your ongoing support as we continue to seek a fair and just outcome for Ben.
