Liberal MP and former army commander Andrew Leslie has offered to be a witness for Vice Admiral Mark Norman at his upcoming trial on one charge of breach of trust this summer. Leslie, a retired lieutenant general who served in the Liberal government as parliamentary secretary for foreign affairs, did not respond to a request for comment. Norman’s lawyers did not respond to a request for comment. But it is unclear in what capacity Leslie would testify or whether he will even be required to testify. Norman’s lawyers are expected to bring forward an abuse-of-process motion, likely to be argued sometime in May.
