The former chief minister of Australia’s Northern Territory (NT), Michael Gunner, has resigned from parliament to spend more time with family just two months after stepping down from the territory’s top job.

Making the announcement in parliament on Wednesday night, the 46-year-old said the months since his resignation as a chief minister had allowed him time for further reflection on his role as a member of Fannie Bay, an electorate in Darwin he has served since 2008.
