25.01.2022 Saturday 10 April is Coles redkite Family Day at the Alice Springs Turf Club. As a sponsor I cannot wait to help with the BBQ and hope to see you there! There will be free fruit, face painting, a water slide, reptile visit and so much more. Funds raised will go to redkite, a charity for children aged 18 and under with cancer https://www.redkite.org.au/

24.01.2022 Thank you to Paul McCue. President of the NT Police Association for coming in to have a chat about how his members are going and about the challenges we face in Alice Springs relating to crime.

22.01.2022 Great community Police work.

21.01.2022 HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME: Today the Chief Minister and his Labor team voted down our move to urgently debate our Bail Amendment Bill

20.01.2022 Congratulations to Chase and Maddison winners of the colouring in competition. It was so wonderful to get over 100 entries. They are all proudly hanging on my wall in the office.

16.01.2022 It’s been wonderful to attend many school graduations and end of year assembly’s recently. To everyone heading away this Christmas stay safe and if your driving, drive safe. Looking forward to seeing everyone again in 2021.

15.01.2022 RECALL PARLIAMENT TO DEAL WITH URGENT CRIME CRISIS After burying his head in the sand for years, the Chief Minister can’t even commit to introducing legislation in May on urgency. That means we might not even see laws passed until the August sittings. This is degrading every victim of crime, and every police officer dealing with crime, right across the Territory. The Chief Minister and his Labor team have now had more than a fortnight to comb through our six page Bail Amendme...nt Bill. If the Gunner Government’s legislation isn’t ready to go, we can debate and pass the CLP’s Bill right now. Let’s recall parliament this week and reverse Labor’s weak bail laws. The Police Commissioner has warned it’s only going to get worse, telling Sky News recently that his officers are bracing for a property crime spike as COVID money runs out and people seek out alcohol. We need action now. That’s why the CLP introduced laws that will put the rights of victims above the rights of offenders. The Opposition has a simple first stage to its plan: Repeat offenders start with a position of no bail Bring back breach of bail as an offence Every repeat offender, every time they’re bailed will be electronically monitored Let’s be clear this is not a silver bullet, but it’s a first and immediate step towards giving residents and business owners a reprieve from the crime wave they’ve been battling now for four and a half years. There is no reason why we can’t recall parliament this week to deal with crime, and leave May for bluff and bluster on the budget. We don’t want the budget to overshadow important law and order reform. If the Gunner Government doesn’t recall parliament, Territorians can be certain that their laws still aren’t drafted and they have no intention to support tougher action on repeat offenders.

14.01.2022 I’m sad to hear this happened, Braitling was the school I went to growing up. Glad all the bikes are accounted for. Michael Gunner this is why things need to change.

14.01.2022 It was great to get down to the Redkite family race day on Saturday and help out with the BBQ. Thank you to Coles and the Alice Springs Turf Club for a great day out and for making it all happen.

10.01.2022 Weekly wrap, from last weeks Parliament.

05.01.2022 Two weeks ago, Michel Gunner and Labor used their numbers in Parliament to stop us urgently passing a law to tackle repeat offending and people who breach bail. Territorians now have to wait until May for any action on crime. We cannot afford to wait that long. The Gunner Government is directly responsible for every Territorian who is victimised by a repeat offender on bail.... We want to put victims, not offenders, first. Should Territorians have to wait till the May sittings for the Gunner Government to do something about crime?
