It was fantastic to attend GTNT's award ceremony under the stars at Middle Beach casino on Friday night. Amy Hetherington, as always, was MCing and doing a cracking job. We celebrated 35 years of GTNT employing and supporting thousands of apprentices—in fact, tens of thousands of apprentices—and trainees across the Northern Territory. Congratulations to the category winners: Julian Coburn, Jessica Porter, Thomas Norris II, Steven Budd, Oliver King, Jamil Turpin, Thomas Marsh, Abbe Ayres, Kayla Glynatsis, Elisha Wright, Alec Blundell, Josiah Ross-Kelly, Chloe Quill, and Power and Water Corp, which got the Host Business of the Year award.

I also thank the generous event sponsors: Calvert Technologies, Hot100, Master Builders NT, Mindil Beach casino, CDU TAFE, IntoJobs, Cultural Journeys, YouthWorX NT, Merit Partners, NEC, MATES in Construction, ARRCS NT, Asbuild NT, Bridge Toyota, ISACNT, Kinetic IT, Power and Water Corp, NAWIC NT, NT Powerlines and Electrical, the NT government and WANT Training Services. Thank you all so much for sponsoring, and it's great to see that GTNT has been renewed as a federally funded contractor into the future to support our Northern Territory apprentices.
