Governor General Sam Mostyn will swear in the controversial NT Administrator David Connolly Friday 27 February.

Gather on the lawns of parliment to send a strong message there is strong community opposition to this appointment.

STOP THE APPOINTMENT


The Finocchiaro Government has appointed David Connolly as NT Administrator. Over the last few weeks, past social media posts of Mr Connolly have resurfaced.
They are deeply concerning, denigrating many Territorians, including
First Nations people, transgender people and women.

Neither Mr Connolly nor the Finocchiaro Government have apologised for this harmful commentary.

Many Territorians have spoken out against this appointment and are calling on the Federal Government to revoke its support for the nomination of David Connolly as Administrator of the Northern Territory.

We must stand in solidarity with Territorians targeted in Mr Connolly’s commentary and make clear to the Finocchiaro Government that we expect all Territorians to be treated with dignity and respect.
