Third Letts Executive

The Third Letts Executive was the third ministry to come from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. It oversaw the Northern Territory under Country Liberal Party Majority Leader Dr Goff Letts from December 1975 to December 1976. Deputy Majority Leader Bernie Kilgariff had resigned in November 1976, requiring a reshuffle of the remaining executive members. In this third executive, Grant Tambling became Deputy Majority Leader and Marshall Perron - who would eventually become Chief Minister was brought into the executive, with several changes also made to the portfolios of other members. Jim Robertson, MLA, while not technically a member of the executive, served as Manager of Government Business during this period.

While both the third and other early executives did not have anywhere near the range of powers as ministries after the granting of self-government in 1978, they nevertheless fulfilled similar functions. This executive was devastated at the 1977 election; five executive members (Goff Letts, Grant Tambling, Liz Andrew, Dave Pollock and Roger Ryan) were among the six Country Liberal Party members to lose their seats.
