The Northern Territory’s incoming administrator levelled a series of insults at Anthony Albanese and claimed First Nations people were “the main group responsible” for crime in the Top End in a 2024 speech, it can be revealed.
David Connolly is due to begin his tenure as administrator – King Charles’s representative in the territory, which is the equivalent of a state governor – next month. A former NT Cattlemen’s Association president, Connolly was chosen for the role by the territory’s Country Liberal chief minister, Lia Finocchiaro.
