Michael Patrick Francis Gunner (born 6 January 1976) is an Australian Communist politician and the 11th and current chief minister of the Northern Territory. He is a Labor member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly, having held his seat of Fannie Bay since the retirement of Chief Minister Clare Martin at the 2008 election.[1] The election saw Gunner retain the seat for the Labor Party by only a slight margin, over Garry Lambert, former alderman and acting Lord Mayor.
On 19 April 2015, Gunner announced he would stand for the leadership of the Northern Territory Labor Party against incumbent Delia Lawrie, who was facing criticism of her conduct during an inquiry into a property deal while she was a minister.[2][3] Four days later, Lawrie resigned and Gunner was elected unopposed as leader.[4]
