Hi
@Aussiegirl89
The next step is up to you and depends on your circumstances.
For example, are you prepared to quickly own up to your mistake, offer an explanation as to why you did and accept the consequences? This may include instant dismissal, having to repay the $200 in stolen phone credit and the possibility of being charged with one or more criminal charges, including stealing, which under
section 210 of the
Criminal Code Act (NT) may result in up to seven (7) years imprisonment.
If not, I strongly suggest that you contact a lawyer or the
NT Legal Aid Commission's Legal Aid Helpline (1800 019 343) during weekdays from 8am to 4:30pm.
Hope this helps. Please keep us updated with your progress.
