Australia’s Northern Territory (NT) chief minister, Michael Gunner, resigned from office on Tuesday, saying his heart is no longer in the job but rather focused on family.

After having just handed down the 2022 Northern Territory Budget, Gunner said his government was seeing stronger economic growth, more jobs, and a better bottom line in the territory. He said this demonstrated that the foundations for the NT’s future prosperity are set, and the path back to budget surplus is solid.
