"As Administrator part of my role is to support those fighting to make change and lift up those who most need it.
It is often unappreciated how important a word of support or lending a friendly ear can be. To shine a spotlight on quiet courage, or a hand lent in kindness.
In the legacy of this office and those gone before me, I vow to continue this worthy tradition and not look past the efforts of these everyday Territorians who are having a real crack."
His Honour the Honourable David Connolly, 24th Administrator of the Northern Territory
Sworn in 27 February 2026
