We have the toughest alcohol laws in the country - Chief Minister Michael Gunner

This morning Katie Woolf spoke with the Chief Minister Michael Gunner via a telephone interview as he was on his way to Canberra from Melbourne for talks with the Federal Opposition Leader as well as with the ANZ Bank – the first in a series of meetings with Australia’s major banks.

Mr Gunner is set to try to convince the bank to loosen it's lending practices to would-be Territory homeowners.

Also discussed was the hot topic of local crime which became rather heatedly by both Mr Gunner and Katie Woolf.

Our phone lines then lite up with callers from local residents very unhappy with Michael Gunner's responses.
