The child protection system in the North Territory is in "crisis" and the community is "crying out for help", the NT opposition leader says.
The sexual assault of a two-year-old girl at Tennant Creek last week has bought into sharp focus the need for more police, public servants and alcohol licensing inspectors to help a community in crisis, Gary Higgins says.
"This incident is a sad reflection on the Northern Territory and we must all do what we can to ensure this never happens again," Mr Higgins said.
