CLP leader Lia Finocchiaro says the biggest loser in the weekend's NT election, the Territory Alliance, cost her party votes, although ABC chief election analyst Antony Green says it is a step too far to blame it for Labor's win.

Country Liberal Party leader Lia Finocchiaro says the NT's new political party Territory Alliance "came in like a wrecking ball" ahead of Saturday's election, confusing voters and costing her party votes.The CLP has secured at least four seats but may claim moreAs counting continued on Tuesday, the CLP was sitting on at least four seats, with potential wins in Braitling in Alice Springs and Brennan in Palmerston, compared to Labor's 13.

"You could point to Drysdale and Port Darwin and say, 'Territory Alliance preferences helped Labor over the line' [but] I'm not convinced of that," he said. The Northern Territory election is the first general election to be held in Australia amid the coronavirus pandemic.But she said the overall result meant there would now be a "strong opposition" in NT Parliament."We provide that conservative baseline for people to look towards, we provide that alternative policy position and voice.

Mr Gunner said things were looking "very tough" for Dale Wakefield as counting continued in the Alice Springs seat of Braitling.

Hey LiberalAus & ScottyFromMarketing yet again you cannot see yourself in the mirror, externalising blame 'It's never my fault'. Territory Alliance are not at fault, it's either your policies, voter's previous experience with you, how electoral system is conducted or a combo.
