The name behind the pancake…

Natasha Fyles hit in the face

Darwin real estate agent Suzi Milgate has been identified as the person allegedly behind Sunday morning’s pancake to the face of Northern Territory Chief Minister Natasha Fyles at Darwin’s Nightcliff Markets. Milgate said she acted  “out of frustration” over Fyles’ failure to listen to her concerns about crime and the territory’s mandatory COVID vaccine policy. She also said that a “cream pie is not an assault”, but Fyles said it was “a firm whack” that left her sore and bruised. “I’ll call it for what it is – it is a violent assault, and it is unacceptable,” she said. Fyles says it won’t deter her from being out in public, but police are looking into whether her security should be increased. Milgate’s been bailed to appear in the Darwin Local Court on 10 October.
