Norfolk Island's mayor Robin Adams says it is time for the people to unite and have a say.

This comes after Ms Adams regional council was dismissed last week by the Canberra government and replaced with an administrator for the next three years.

It means Norfolk Island, which had its semi-autonomous legislature shut down by Canberra five years ago, is now without any democratic say.

Ms Adams spoke to Don Wiseman and told him the latest problems started last year when the council sought an inquiry into the type of government best suited to Norfolk.
