Northern Territory Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro has blasted anti-gas protesters rallying outside of a conference during the state’s ‘Resources Week’.

“One of the other key things we will do is cease funding of the Environmental Defenders Office following the judgment in the Santos-Barossa case decision,” she said during a speech.

“We’ve been very clear on that.

“And the activists standing out the front, you are wasting your time.

“Go back to Victoria or wherever else you want to cause trouble, but you are not welcome here.”
