Sixth Perron Ministry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sixth Perron Ministry was the 27th ministry to come from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. It was sworn in on September 16, 1993, after a minor reshuffle by Chief Minister Marshall Perron. The new ministry saw an expansion of the role of Daryl Manzie, who regained the Attorney-General portfolio, previously lost to Shane Stone, and became Minister of Transport and Works in a permanent capacity after the forced resignation of Max Ortmann. Perron announced at the time that he had decided to continue with a smaller ministry rather than appoint a new minister to replace Ortmann. The ministry operated until June 14, 1994, when an identical ministry was sworn in in the wake of the government's victory at the 1994 election.
