Northern Territory Police Minister Brent Potter has come under scrutiny for sharing material on Facebook that quoted a Nazi commander and expressed opposition to the Black Lives Matter movement.

The content was allegedly posted over a six-year-period and could be viewed publically until his social media accounts were deactivated on the day he was preselected for Territory Labor in 2022.
