The Fourth Barr Ministry is the 16th ministry of the Government of the Australian Capital Territory, led by Labor Chief Minister Andrew Barr and his deputy Yvette Berry. It was appointed on 7 November 2024 to replace the Third Barr Ministry, following the 2024 general election held two weeks earlier. Despite forming a coalition government with Labor since 2012, on 6 November 2024, Greens leader Shane Rattenbury announced that his party would return to the crossbench, effectively dissolving the coalition. However, they agreed to guarantee supply in return for Labor adopting Green's policies. This allowed Labor to continue to form government, but as a minority government.[1]

Current Arrangement

Following Labor's re-election at the 2024 general election, a new ministry was appointed on 7 November 2024.[2]
