Less than 48 hours since the Country Liberal Party's landslide election victory in the Northern Territory, the incoming chief minister has revealed her government's first actions to overturn crime and 'restore community safety'.
The incoming chief minister of the Northern Territory Lia Finocchiaro says community safety will be her new government 's top priority.
The CLP has promised to introduce a police retention bonus scheme in a bid to keep officers working in the territory.In another signal to the new government's steadfast commitment to overturning crime, Ms Finocchiaro met with Police Commissioner Michael Murphy on Sunday and NT Police Association president Nathan Finn on Monday.
"I made it very clear to both the NTPA president and the police commissioner that our police have my full support." When asked if she had spoken to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese since the CLP's resounding election win on Saturday, Ms Finocchiaro said she had not yet "had the chance". The new cabinet is expected to be announced in the coming days, with deputy CLP leader Gerard Maley poised to pick up major portfolios such as alcohol policy, defence industries and infrastructure.
