00:00Months after an orange landslide in the NT, the CLP is dealing with a defection from within
00:08its ranks.
00:09Senator Jacinta Numpajimpa-Price told her CLP colleagues she's switching parliamentary
00:14allegiance from the Nationals to the Liberals in service of Territorians and Australians.
00:21NT Labor has a different theory.
00:23She cannot represent Territorians in a better way by changing party rooms.
00:27She is there for herself.
00:29Suggesting the rebel coalition star should have stood as a Liberal in last week's election.
00:34Jacinta Price should have been up front with Territorians.
00:37CLP leadership nowhere to be seen but this NT frontbencher says they're supportive.
00:43So of course she will be looking to do what she can to support Territorians and broader
00:47Australia as well to ensure that there's a voice out there for us here in the Territory.
00:53The Senator hasn't ruled out a tilted Deputy Liberal leader when the party meets on Tuesday
00:59to choose a replacement for Peter Dutton.
01:02Senator Price's rather abrupt decision is very short term in its outlook and hasn't really
01:09taken into account the long term consequences.
01:13Senator Price's move has been described as a considerable gamble.
01:17With another possible roll of the dice on Tuesday, only time will tell how they fall for the Territory.
01:23Senator Price's move has been determined and will stay in front of the
01:26department of the strength of the leader for the leader for the leader in the military.
01:35And I expect to see from our Abgeordneten, for example, the nodigи for the leader for the leader for the leader of the leader in the military.
