  • Hon Kezia Purick MLA, Speaker
    LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY The Calm after the Storm – Are Storm Clouds Brewing Again? The Hon Kezia Purick MLA, Speaker As the Northern Territory reaches its midterm mark, two years after the 2016 election and two years before the 2020 General Election, it is timely to pause and assess how orderly the 13 th Assembly is and consider comparisons with the 12 th and previous Assemblies to consider which was the most tumultuous in the short and colourful history of the Northern Territory legislature. The 12 th Assembly ran from 2012 to 2016 and had what would kindly be referred to as some big personalities . At least six Ministers in the Cabinet (unofficially) actively wanted the role of Chief Minister for themselves with three Ministers serving or attempting to serve in the top job. I won’t go into detail here about the bizarre midnight coup of 3 February 2015, just enter that into your favourite search engine for more details. A revolving door of Cabinet reshuffles (18 in four years) and the sheer number of Deputy Chief Ministers reflected the lack of consistent leadership in Government. This had a significant impact upon the Legislative Assembly. A Government with initially 16 Members in August 2016 was reduced to a perilous minority of 11 by the time of the 2016 election. With a new Assembly came renewal. We have not even had a Cabinet reshuffle since the first Ministry was announced after the 2016 election. The Country Liberals were soundly defeated in 2016 with only two Members being returned to a shrunken Opposition bench and 18 Labor Government Members now occupying the Treasury benches in the 25 Member parliament.
