Sixth Martin Ministry

The Sixth Martin Ministry was the 47th ministry to come from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly in Australia's Northern Territory. It came into existence on 12 July 2005, when the recently re-elected Chief Minister Clare Martin replaced the temporary ministry that had been appointed after her victory in the 2005 election. The new ministry saw the promotion of two MLAs to the ministry: Delia Lawrie (Karama) and Elliot McAdam (Barkly), increasing the total number of ministers to nine. While this broke a 2001 election promise to keep the number of ministers to seven, it was largely uncontroversial due to the widely held perception that the cut had left ministers overstretched. The ministry operated until 30 August 2006, when a reshuffle was held to replace the retired Dr Peter Toyne.
