Seventh Martin Ministry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Seventh Martin Ministry was the 48th ministry to come from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly in Australia's Northern Territory. It came into existence on September 1, 2006 as a result of a major reshuffle sparked by the sudden mid-term retirement of Attorney-General Dr Peter Toyne. The introduction of the new ministry saw first-term MLA Chris Natt replace Toyne in the ministry amidst a major reshuffle of the entire ministry, with a number of key portfolios being shifted. It lasted until August 7, 2007, when Martin reshuffled the ministry in response to the fallout from the federal government's Northern Territory National Emergency Response.
