Gunner to don mullet

NORTHERN Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner has vowed to grow a mullet for charity.

The stunt is for the benefit of the Black Dog Institute and its challenge “mullets for mental health”. The Chief Minister said he would keep his mullet for one month for every $5000 raised.

The amount collected so far is just above that figure.

A Facebook video shows Mr Gunner in a barber’s chair asking questions to the hairdresser, named Tash.

“Can you make it so that it’s business at the front and party at the back?” he asked. “So that I’ll look professional still, for press conferences.”
