The Rees ministry was the 91st ministry of the
Government of New South Wales, and was led by the 41st Premier Nathan Rees
.
The Rees
Labor ministry was formed following the resignation of Premier Morris Iemma on 5 September 2008 and the unanimous election of Rees as Leader of the Labor caucus and Carmel Tebbutt as Deputy Leader.[1]
On 5 September Rees and Tebbutt were sworn as Premier and Deputy Premier respectively by the
Lieutenant Governor, James Spigelman AC.[2]
Composition of ministry
This ministry was announced on 8 September 2008. Just three days later Matt Brown resigned, causing a minor reshuffle.[3][a] Tony Stewart was dismissed on 11 November 2008.[b] There was a minor rearrangement in January 2009.[c][d][e] John Della Bosca resigned from the ministry on 31 August 2009,[f] prompting a reshuffle in which Rees punished those who had plotted against him as leader.[7][g][h][i][j][k][l][m] [n] In November 2009 the Labor state conference gave Rees the power to choose his own cabinet and he responded by sacking Joe Tripodi and Ian Macdonald.[8][o][p] 17 days later a Labor caucus revolt saw Kristina Keneally succeeded Rees as Premier.[7][9][10]
