Shane Drumgold has resigned as the ACT director of public prosecutions, with the territory’s attorney general saying his position was “no longer tenable” following an inquiry into the prosecution of Bruce Lehrmann.
Drumgold will stand down at the end of this month but has disputed many of the adverse findings made against him in the inquiry by Walter Sofronoff KC, and claimed the sharing of the report to certain media outlets before it was seen by the ACT government had denied him procedural fairness.
