00:02Spotted in public, an embattled shadow minister now remorseful after speeding offences were
00:09revealed in the media.
00:11I'm sorry to the people and for my constituents that bothered me and have trust in me.
00:17Convicted of driving without due care following a fatal 2009 crash, Manuel Brown losing his
00:24licence for three months last October, caught speeding again after regaining it.
00:30I didn't think that it would come forward, but obviously in light of everything that's
00:35come forward in the past week, it's come to light, yeah.
00:38The shadow education minister now also admitting his underage son drove his personal car one
00:45week after failing to disclose it when asked by media.
00:48It was out on an outstation 50 kilometres in Arnhem Land out of Maningrida, so yeah, I
00:58don't want to talk much about that one, but that's what happened.
01:01His resignation from Shadow Cabinet, now a possibility.
01:05Oh absolutely, you know, but it's up to the team and everyone involved, I need to have
01:12a chat to it.
01:13It is my choice, but obviously there's a few factors that I need to consider.
01:18A member of Territory Labor's left faction, Mr Brown switched allegiances to vote for the
01:24unaligned Ed Smelt in a deputy leadership spill last month.
01:29Brown was the deciding vote in a 3-2 contest between Smelt and the left's Duran Young.
01:35Today, Brown revealed why he switched.
01:38I voted for permanency in the northern suburbs and presence, and Ed being in the northern
01:46suburbs, we need to win back northern suburbs, and that's just what I voted for.
01:51Whether Labor can now rebuild from its self-implosion is a question for a divided caucus.
01:57Does it work?
01:59What do we do?
02:01You
