The Fourth Tuxworth Ministry was the sixteenth ministry to come from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. It was sworn in on 29 April 1986 as a result of a major reshuffle caused in part by the sudden resignation from the ministry of Attorney-General and former Deputy Chief Minister Marshall Perron. Chief Minister Ian Tuxworth ceded the position of Treasurer to Barry Coulter. Former transport minister Daryl Manzie was appointed Attorney-General in Perron's place, while also replacing Tom Harris as Minister for Education. Harris replaced Ray Hanrahan as Minister for Health, with Hanrahan being demoted to responsibilities for communications and tourism. The ministry also saw the promotion of new minister Don Dale, who was given several junior portfolios. It operated until 14 May 1986, when Tuxworth was ousted as Chief Minister by Mines and Energy Minister Stephen Hatton.
