Territory Day firework display’s sudden change of venue under scrutiny

by | Jun 13, 2024 | Business, News, Subscriber | 2 comments

The Lawler Government’s confusing decision to move the Territory Day public fireworks display from its home at Mindil Beach to the Darwin Waterfront this year is no closer to being explained, after it was revealed at Estimates that no complaints about the festivities were ever raised by traditional owners and that a permit through the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority was never required.

The government has repeatedly refused to clearly explain why the change of venue was needed, with Major Events Minister Brent Potter stating last week that the event could not continue at Mindil “due to advice received that a permit would be needed to ensure the event complies with Aboriginal Area Protection Authority (AAPA) regulations.”

  1. Ladies and Gentlemens,
    The never ending constant insanity marks the end of the ALP in the NT! They do not need to conduct a post mortem of the 2024 election.

    I cannot imagine the NT’s Economy or the direction of the current estimated 12 Billion in Government Debt with another 4 years of Labour!

  2. How good is Potter? Not only can the Minister for Mysogeny make Eva Lawler cover up his dirty deeds but he can also make her do his job for him. I dare Potter to tell Lawler, “Make me a sandwich.”
