The Waddell ministry was the 31st ministry of the New South Wales Government, and was led by the 15th Premier, the Honourable Thomas Waddell, MLA.
Waddell was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1887 as member for Bourke, serving in the See ministry, prior to assuming leadership of the Protectionist Party following the retirement of Sir John See, KCMG on grounds of ill health. The ministry covers the period from 14 June 1904 until 29 August 1904,[1][2] when Waddell's Progressive Party was defeated at the 1904 state election.[3] Waddell was succeeded by Joseph Carruthers and his Liberal Reform Party.
The composition of the ministry was announced by Premier Waddell on 15 June 1904 and covers the period up to 29 August 1904. Ministers are listed in order of seniority.
