Northern Territory Opposition Leader Lia Finocchiaro has revealed she will vote ‘No’ at the referendum to enshrine an Indigenous Voice to Parliament. Ms Finocchiaro told Mix FM the government hasn’t provided enough detail about the proposal and was concerned the Voice would fail to address the issues facing Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory. 'I'm very concerned about the lack of Territory representation that there's likely to be on any voice and to me that means that we're not going to be getting the best outcomes for Territorians,” she said.
