Third Martin Ministry

The Third Martin Ministry was the 44th ministry to come from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. It came into existence on 18 October 2002, when an eighth minister, Dr Chris Burns was promoted in order to reduce the workload of the seven existing ministers. It lasted until 14 December 2003, when Chief Minister Clare Martin sacked underperforming Health Minister Jane Aagaard and demoted Kon Vatskalis.
