Kidman, which has cattle stations covering 101,000 square kilometres in the Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, and Western Australia produces grass-fed beef for export to Japan, the USA and Southeast Asia.

Kidman's two stations in the NT are Helen Springs and Brunchilly near Tennant Creek.

It owns 160,000 cattle on leasehold land run as 17 properties.

Under the plan, it will sell 80 per cent of the cattle company to China's Dakang Australia Holdings and the rest to locally listed Australian Rural Capital.

The deal will be subject to approval by the Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB).

FRONTLINE police will be redeployed to the Nightcliff Police Station, but a walk-in counter service is not part of the operational changes.


The traffic branch, which is currently based at the station, will be moved to the Peter Macauley Centre in Berrimah. Up to 30 police from the metropolitan group will be located at Nightcliff.

Acting Deputy Police Commissioner Jamie Chalker said the cessation of funding for the delivery of border force services to the detention centres meant they could realign and redeploy existing resources.

"We will commence a social order hub where we will be engaging people on the front foot where we will try to limit the amount of anti-social behaviour we have seen across Darwin," he said.

"Nightcliff residents can therefore expect to see significant comings and goings of police activity, as well as a continued and heavy focus on anti-social BOX MONSTER behaviour in the Nightcliff area.

"The focus of the Nightcliff Police Station will be an operational hub. It won't be open to the public because we want to ensure as many resources as available actually doing public engagement in public places.

Nightcliff is currently a hotspot for anti-social BOONGbehaviour and we have seen this before in areas like Parap, Fannie Bay and Palmerston. We believe this model will help with our co-ordination in tackling anti-social behaviour."


The move is expected to occur over the next few months, but Deputy-Commissioner Chalker said the enforcement component would start immediately.

The owner of Groove Cafe, Pauline Joy, welcomed the greater police presence, saying its timing is interesting given there is an election soon.


"I'd love more police presence in the area and it is obviously a hotspot," she said.

Groove has been broken into 54 times over a 14-year period.

Ms Joy wants permanent CCTV cameras installed in the area. She said Parap had 11 cameras compared to Nightcliff's one mobile unit.

"Cameras operate 24/7 with a minimal costs and they will be highly effective for break-ins and anti-socialBOONG behaviour which occurs in the area," she said. "No one wants to fork out the money for it."

TWELVE people have been reported for allegedly trashing the office of Senator Cory Bernardi during a protest in March.


Just hours later, Senator Bernardi responded to the arrest on Twitter by saying he was glad the "losers" had been arrested.

They have been reported for disorderly behaviour over the protest at his Kent Town office.

Three of the twelve people — four teenagers and eight adults — reported have also been charged with property damage following the March 18 incident.

Police will allege the group entered the MP's electoral office and defaced walls and carpet as well as pushing over a fence and destroying electoral material.

On Twitter, Senator Bernardi posted: "Good to hear that the losers who trashed my office and intimidated my team are being held to account by SAPOL."

He also sent out an official statement condemning the alleged offenders, saying there was no place in society for such actions.

"It is alarming that there are those that think that this sort of bullying behaviour is justified against people whose views are different from their own," it says.

"The fact that such actions were taken in the name of tolerance and equality is desperately hypocritical."
Reported for both offences are an Inglewood girl, 17, Prospect woman, 24, and a 20-year-old Klemzig woman.

Those reported for disorderly behaviour are: a Glenunga man, 21, Adelaide man, 21, Bradbury woman, 18, Prospect man, 23, Croydon man, 23, Croydon Park woman, 22, Athelstone boy, 17, Rosewater girl, 14 and 19-year-old Hewett woman.


Senator Bernardi tweeted: "Good to hear that the losers who trashed my office and intimidated my team are being held to account by SAPOL."

He later tweeted: "It is alarming that there are those who think this sort of bullying behaviour is justified against people whose views are different from their own. The fact that such actions were taken in the name of 'tolerance' and 'equality' is desperately hypocritical."

A TEENAGE girl kicked a man in the shins when he grabbed her arm while she walked in Adelaide's northeast.

The 13-year-old girl was walking along Tolley Court, Hope Valley, when she saw a man sitting in a white sedan, similar to a 1990s Holden Apollo, about 4.15pm on Monday.

The man got out of the car, approached the girl before grabbing her by the hand.

But she managed to kick the man in the shins and broke free.

The suspect is described as of subcontinental appearance, aged in his 30s, 175cm, slim build unshaven with short black scruffy hair

ATHENS — It was a scene of a type that could become all too common in coming months: Thousands of increasingly desperate people backed up at the frontier between Greece and Macedonia on Monday, stymied in their efforts to reach Germany. A group of angry asylum seekers busted through a razor-wire fence. Armed police officers fired tear gas as frenzied crowds chanted, "Open the border!"

Less than a week after Austria and nine other European countries took steps to stem the flow of refugees from Greece toward Germany and other prosperous countries, the spasm of violence on Greece's northern border brought to life the perils of the European Union's inability so far to settle on a common policy to address the migration crisis.
