Gunner a strong supporter of the Territory’s mining sector

The outgoing Northern Territory Chief Minister, Michael Gunner, has been a strong advocate and supporter of the Territory’s mining industry.

He has long understood how important the sector is to the Territory economy by creating jobs, supporting local businesses and via the payment of royalties.

In promoting mining development, Mr Gunner has also worked with industry to integrate important sustainability priorities.

His strong leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic ensured Territorians remained safe and industries such as mining continued to contribute to the economy.

As a born and raised Territorian, he brought his passion for the Territory to his job as Chief Minister for the last six years.

The MCA congratulates Mr Gunner on his achievements in the NT Parliament and wishes him and his family the best for the future.
