Just a week after Northern Territory Police launched a review into the true extent of racism within its own ranks, its police minister came under fire over damaging Facebook posts.
Just one week after Northern Territory police launched a review into the true extent of racism within its ranks, the minister in charge faced a firestorm over damaging Facebook posts.
The posts were resurfaced a day after his boss, Chief Minister Eva Lawler, said she had seen lots of "abhorrent" racism in the territory. NT Police is under scrutiny over allegations of racism within its ranks — allegations that have prompted an internal review with oversight from the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption.At a press conference on Thursday, the police minister laid out his defence.
Federal Labor MP Luke Gosling said he would be "concerned" about people thinking Mr Potter's views represented the broader ADF community.But the NT Police Association, the union whose own members will be investigated by that racism review, was more scathing.
