The partnership between the National NAIDOC Committee (NNC) and Woolworths Group could be severed, depending on how the supermarket giant deals with community opposition to their proposed Dan Murphy's megastore. In a statement provided to NITV News, the National NAIDOC Committee said it had suspended discussions with the Woolworths Group regarding an official partnership for NAIDOC Week 2021. "The NNC supports the significant concerns over the development raised by the 45 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and health organisations," it said. "We strongly urge Woolworths Group to work with the Aboriginal communities, leaders and other stakeholders in Darwin to help create a stronger, healthier and more resilient community."
