Composition of ministry

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]
