The Country Liberal Party’s (CLP) convincing defeat of the incumbent Labor party is a turning point in the territory’s future, Chief Minister-elect Lia Finocchario says.

The CLP will form government in the Northern Territory after toppling the government and Chief Minister Eva Lawler in her own seat.
