Indigenous actor David Gulpilil has appeared in court in Darwin accused of breaching the conditions of his suspended prison sentence.
The Crocodile Dundee star, who also appeared in Baz Luhrmann’s Australia, was convicted of aggravated assault in 2011 for breaking his wife’s arm with a broom and he was sentenced to a year in jail, suspended after five months.
However, Gulpilil faced Darwin Magistrates Court again on Friday to answer accusations he failed to adhere to the terms of his release.
Magistrate John Lowndes handed Gulpilil, 58, a new seven-month suspended sentence which means he must not re-offend for 15 months. He is also banned from purchasing alcohol.
