Second Tuxworth Ministry

The Second Tuxworth Ministry was the fourteenth ministry to come from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. It was sworn in on 21 December 1984, following a major reshuffle by newly appointed Chief Minister Ian Tuxworth. The new ministry saw significant changes to the roles of a number of key figures. Tuxworth took on the role of Treasurer, formerly held by Marshall Perron, with Perron becoming Attorney-General. Jim Robertson, the former Attorney-General, became Minister for Health, and Daryl Manzie took on Robertson's other former portfolio as Minister for Transport and Works. The new ministry also saw the appointment of two new ministers: Barry Coulter and future Chief Minister Stephen Hatton, and the axing of one minister, former housing and conservation minister Noel Padgham-Purich. It operated until 19 August 1985, when a further ministerial reshuffle took place.
