The ministry covered the period from 1 December 1997 until 8 April 1999, when Carr led Labor to victory at the 1999 state election.
The ministry covered the period from 1 December 1997. There was a minor rearrangement in April 1998 when Brian Langton relinquished his ministerial duties due to his involvement in a political scandal, after the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) found him guilty of corruptly rorting charter plane expenses. The ICAC deemed that Langton had sought advantage for himself by deliberate deception of the Parliamentary Accounts Department.[1][2][lower-alpha 1] The ministry continued until 8 April 1999 when the ministry was configured following the 1999 state election.[3][4]
Ministers are members of the Legislative Assembly unless otherwise noted.
- Brian Langton resigned on 30 April 1998. Jeff Shaw was appointed to his portfolio of Fair Trading and Bob Debus was appointed to his portfolio of Emergency Services.
