Second Hatton Ministry

The Second Hatton Ministry was the eighteenth ministry to come from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. It was sworn in on 19 March 1987 after a reshuffle of the ministry by Chief Minister Stephen Hatton. The new ministry saw two main changes from its predecessor: Ray Hanrahan replaced Barry Coulter as Deputy Chief Minister, although Coulter stayed on as Treasurer, and former Deputy Chief Minister Nick Dondas was dropped from the ministry. It also saw new minister Terry McCarthy dropped, with his portfolios being taken on by Hanrahan, and the appointment of another new minister, Fred Finch, who became Minister for Transport and Works. The ministry saw one change during its lifetime, with Minister for Labour and Administrative Services Tom Harris resigning from the ministry on 30 April 1987. Hatton took on Harris' portfolio for the remainder of the term of the ministry. It operated until 7 May 1987, when McCarthy was reappointed to the ministry to take on Harris' former portfolio.
