Federal Labor is opposed to forced local government amalgamations anywhere in Australia, including the Northern Territory.
We believe there are other ways other than forced amalgamations to achieve economic and financial efficiencies, including more effective working relationships between local governments.
Federal Labor believes all proposals for forced amalgamations should be tested through the democratic process of a local plebiscite.
Local democracy is important.
That’s why Northern Territorians will welcome the opportunity to cast a vote in the upcoming federal election on the CLP’s support for nuclear power plants and nuclear waste dumps in the Territory.
