This is Leilani Clark the "wonderful woman" anointed by Magistrate Erin Kennedy as Her Honour heard that this year alone Clark:

• assaulted police officers four times in two states 
• spat on officers three times and
• twice called police 'white dogs'

Here's part of the Daily Mail's story.

'A wonderful person with a great future': Magistrate praises Aboriginal activist, 20, who has assaulted police FOUR times this year and called them 'white dogs' - as she walks free from court again

• Leilani Clarke, 20, has assaulted police officers four times in two states this year
• The student has spat on officers three times and twice called police 'white dogs'
• Leilani describes herself as a proud Aboriginal activist and Butchulla woman
• A magistrate has called her a 'wonderful' woman after her most recent offence 

An Aboriginal activist who admitted assaulting police for the fourth time this year has been described by a magistrate as a 'wonderful' young person with a bright future.

Leilani Clarke has now pleaded guilty to spitting on police officers three times in less than 12 months and has a history of calling them 'white dogs'.

The 20-year-old walked free from Downing Centre Local Court on Friday without so much as a conviction for another assault upon police. 

Magistrate Erin Kennedy said assaulting police was an 'extremely serious offence' but accepted Clarke had mental health issues and had possibly been self-medicating with illegal drugs.

 

 

Former university student Leilani Clarke, 20, walked free from Downing Centre Local Court on Friday without so much as a conviction after her fourth offence of assaulting police this year 

 

 

Magistrate Erin Kennedy said assaulting police was an 'extremely serious offence' but accepted Leilani Clarke had mental health issues and had possibly been self-medicating

'The worst thing we see happening to wonderful people like you who have a great future ahead of them is if you don't get the proper treatment and you start taking something to self-medicate and we lose you,' Ms Kennedy said.

I wonder what Her Honour makes of perjury?
