1869–1872 Fox Ministry
Former government of New Zealand / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Third Fox Ministry was a responsible government which held power in New Zealand from June 1869 to September 1872. Although William Fox was the head of the government, he was never appointed Premier as that office had yet to be established, although he did resign the office at the end of his tenure.[1] The Ministry was also known as the Fox-Vogel Ministry as most of the agenda was set by the Treasurer,[2] while Fox busied himself with administrative affairs[3] and moral crusades such as the attempted introduction of local option polls for liquor licensing.[4]
