A former board member of the Northern Territory's sacred sites watchdog AAPA has spoken out a day after her snap resignation. Rachel Perkins has described extreme distress among fellow board members who she says were compelled to approve a certificate permitting construction of an 11-storey hotel at the Darwin Waterfront. The NT government has welcomed the approval, made possible under new laws. But Larrakia custodians are planning legal action, potentially further delaying the troubled development.
