The Northern Territory Chief Minister says the Federal Government's confidence in exporting uranium to India is "good enough" for him.

Chief Minister Paul Henderson supported the Government's call to lift the ban on uranium exports to India, as discussed at the weekend's national party conference.

He said he doesn't have access to information confirming how India will use uranium, but that the Federal Government had the intelligence and diplomatic relations that did.

"It's about accepting the Federal Government have all the diplomatic relations that make it safe to sell uranium to India," he said.

"If it's good enough for the Federal Government, it's good enough for me.

"I put my faith in Federal Government who has all the diplomatic relations and the intelligence and safeguards and watch dogs in place. If all of that says it's okay to sell uranium to India then that's good enough for me - I don't have access to that information."

He said the Territory would plan towards building its own diplomatic relations with India now.

"It's all about investment, it's all about jobs and now the government has cleared the way, we'll start work," he said.

But the move has been met with strong opposition from Labor's left, with some vowing to fight against the sale of uranium to India.

Labor Senator Doug Cameron went as far as to call it one of the worst decisions Labor has ever made.

On other major topics covered at the ALP conference, the NT Chief Minister said there were good outcomes for the Territory overall.

The motion to phase out the live export industry over several years was lost, and a conscience vote has been planned on whether to change the marriage act to include gay couples.

Mr Henderson said he would vote no on the issue of gay marriage but said it was a "personal issue".

"If I had a vote in the Federal Parliament I would vote no, but I'll be absolutely relaxed about it if it does get through," he said, adding that he expects it will fail.
