Quotes attributed to Opposition Leader Selena Uibo:
“We have a renewed team with responsibilities that give us a real chance to reconnect with Territorians. From Karama to Katherine to Kalkarindji, our first priority is to engage with as many Territorians as possible.
“It is clear Territorians wanted change and the new Labor Cabinet will learn lessons from the last eight years, we won’t shy away from the hard truths and we will ensure we are constructive in Opposition.
“The Labor Opposition I lead will work hard every day to ensure Territorians have the leadership and governance they deserve, the CLP made a lot of promises to the community and we will maintain strong scrutiny to ensure they are all delivered.”
