Mr Gunner said: “My number one priority is to create jobs for Territorians, and telling our Boundless Possible story is a fantastic way to do this.

“We want everyone to know that the Territory is open for business, and that it’s a great place to live, study, work, invest and raise a family.

“We need to bust those myths about the Territory, and I’m thrilled the Territory will be centre stage at one of the biggest sporting events in Australia – the AFL Grand Final, where so many Territory sporting legends have left their mark.

“Telling the modern Territory story is also about sharing the story of our incredible success stories in trade and innovation, and letting the world know that we are a great place to invest.”
