Fifth Martin Ministry
The Fifth Martin Ministry was the 46th ministry to come from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. It served as an interim ministry after the Australian Labor Party's victory in the 2005 election. It was made necessary as the experienced John Ah Kit had retired at the election, and Chief Minister Clare Martin was reluctant to force new and inexperienced ministers to have to carry the budget through estimates committees in their first weeks on the job. As a result, Ah Kit's entire workload passed to the already heavily loaded Paul Henderson for a little over two weeks from 24 June 2005 until 11 July 2005, when the full ministry was sworn in.
