Former Supreme Court Justice Brian Martin has announced he's stepping down as the head of a Royal Commission into the Northern Territory youth justice system. It follows accusations of conflict of interest over his daughter's employment as an adviser to the former NT attorney-general between 2009-2011 - a period covered by the inquiry. Questions are also being raised about past convictions handed down by Mr Martin, including to some children possibly now involved in the Royal Commission. More on this story by Odysseas Kripotos and Stergos Kastelloriou.
