The Marshall ministry was the 73rd ministry (cabinet) of the Government of South Australia, led by Steven Marshall of the South Australian Liberal Party. It was formed after the 2018 state election and ended after the 2022 state election.[1] It was preceded by the Weatherill ministry and was succeeded by the Malinauskas ministry.
The ministry was made up of 14 members of the Liberal Party.
First formation
editThe first formation was sworn in by the Governor of South Australia on 19 March 2018. With the Liberals' victory beyond doubt even though counting was underway, Marshall had himself, Liberal deputy leader Vickie Chapman and Father of the South Australian Parliament Rob Lucas sworn in as an interim three-person government, with himself as Premier and Chapman as Deputy Premier. Marshall held all portfolios except Attorney-General, held by Chapman, and Treasurer, held by Lucas. The full ministry took office on 22 March 2018, when Marshall assigned most of his portfolio to other members of the government.[2][3][4]
On 7 March 2019, the title of Minister for Industry and Skills was renamed Minister for Innovation and Skills.[5] On 13 January 2020, the tourism portfolio was removed from the trade, tourism and investment portfolios and absorbed into the Premier's portfolio.[6][7]
On 26 July 2020, Transport Minister Stephan Knoll, Primary Industries Minister Tim Whetstone and Trade Minister David Ridgway resigned from the ministry amid an expenses scandal.[8]
