Quotes attributable to Chief Minister Michael Gunner:

“This isn’t about getting the biggest names, it’s about getting the right people. People who know the Territory and who will work for the Territory.

“They have two tasks: first to assist, and then to implement.

“Their job is to make sure this stuff gets done. To make sure this isn’t another report that gathers dust on a shelf.”
