The Northern Territory Children's Commissioner Colleen Gwynne remains on a leave of absence "to consider her next steps", according to an Northern Territory government spokesperson, after prosecutors withdrew their case and a Supreme Court judge directed a jury to find her not guilty of abuse of office.
Ms Gwynne's case began in Darwin in early March and was expected to run for at least one month, with more than 60 potential witnesses, but ended abruptly just days into the trial.
