The Northern Territory opposition leader has hit out at critics within her own party after a petition surfaced of a rank-and-file vote of no confidence in her leadership.

Members of the Country Liberal Party's (CLP) Litchfield branch have circulated the motion calling for Lia Finocchiaro to step down as the party's leader in the NT Parliament.
