The Second Barr Ministry was the 14th 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 1 November 2016, following the 2016 general election held two weeks earlier.[1][2] The Greens signed a new formal Parliamentary Agreement with Labor which continued to maintain Green's leader Shane Rattenbury's position in the Ministry, whilst mandating that the Greens not move or support any motion of no confidence in the Labor Government, except in instances of gross misconduct or corruption.[3][4][5]
The previous First Barr Ministry initially contained five ministers, but was later increased to seven ministers. The number was not increased in the second ministry after the 2016 general election, even when eight more members were elected to form an expanded 25 member Legislative Assembly. The ministry was subsequently increased to eight ministers in August 2018.
The ministry was replaced by the Third Barr Ministry on 3 November 2020 after the Labor government's re-election at the 2020 election.
