Who is Rex Wild?

Rex Wild, QC is a former Director of Public Prosecutions for the Northern Territory of Australia. He was appointed to the position in 1998, retiring in 2006. One of his most prominent trials occurred in late 2005 when Wild led the prosecution of Bradley John Murdoch for the murder of Peter Falconio; he said that this would be his final case as Director of Public Prosecutions, a pledge he fulfilled by retiring.

He returned to private law practice when his tenure was completed and was co-author of the 2007 "Little Children are Sacred" Report into the sexual abuse of Indigenous Australian children in the Northern Territory
