Mr Gunner was recently criticised by the Territory Alliance after he released a community message on ABC radio where he concluded by asking the public to support the Labor party. “I am asking for your support so the Labor government I lead can continue to protect Territorian’s lives,” he said.
The Territory Alliance made an official complaint arguing the Chief Minister’s message blurred the lines between what should be a community health message versus a political message. NT Labor's political platform centred around COVID-19 with Mr Gunner's messaging primarily focused on tough border controls. There are currently no hard borders enforced by the Northern Territory government, open to WA, SA, Qld, Tas, ACT and portions of NSW not considered hotspots since July 17.
A bit like Scomo then...

Australia needs Trump to win the election because 'we cannot face China alone' | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator James McGrath says Australia needs President Donald Trump to win the upcoming presidential election to help it stand up to China. \n\nMr McGrath said China was the “greatest threat to the rules-based order the world is seeing at the moment.”\n\nPresident Trump would be better at dealing with China than presidential candidate Joe Biden because he knows “when you deal with bullies … you don’t give them shoulder massages, you’ve got to stand up to them.” Mr McGrath told Sky news. \n\n“Biden isn’t a foreign affairs hawk, he’s like a foreign affairs budgerigar”\n\nMr McGrath said Australia needed to ensure there was a 'coalition of the willing” standing against China and required the help of a strong president in the White House. \n\nImage: Getty realDonaldTrump I agree. I’m not a fan of Trump. But Biden is a puppet of China when he was VP. He agrees with China and not intend to make China accountable and eventually national security will be at risk. JoeBiden realDonaldTrump lol. What a moron realDonaldTrump Why he would keep standing against C after the election?
