Eighth Perron Ministry

Eighth Perron Ministry

The Eighth Perron Ministry was the 29th ministry to come from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. It was sworn in on July 18, 1994, after Chief Minister Marshall Perron initiated a reshuffle of his ministry. The new ministry saw a number of portfolio changes, with Daryl Manzie taking the police, fire and emergency services portfolio from Perron, Eric Poole taking the public employment portfolio from Fred Finch and Mike Reed taking the mines and energy portfolio from Shane Stone. It also saw the creation of a new statehood-related portfolio, with Stephen Hatton becoming Minister Assisting the Chief Minister on Constitutional Development Matters. The new ministry also saw the promotion of a new minister in Mick Palmer, which was the cause of some controversy due to Palmer having assaulted a journalist two years previously. It operated until May 25, 1995, when Chief Minister Perron resigned from politics immediately after the passage of the Rights of the Terminally Ill Act 1995, the voluntary euthanasia legalisation bill he had advocated for some years.
