The Sixth Perron Ministry was the 27th ministry to come from the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly. It was sworn in on 16 September 1993, after a minor reshuffle by Chief Minister Marshall Perron. The new ministry saw an expansion of the role of Daryl Manzie, who regained the Attorney-General portfolio, previously lost to Shane Stone, and became Minister of Transport and Works in a permanent capacity after the forced resignation of Max Ortmann. Perron announced at the time that he had decided to continue with a smaller ministry rather than appoint a new minister to replace Ortmann. The ministry operated until 14 June 1994, when an identical ministry was sworn in in the wake of the government's victory at the 1994 election.

Famous quotes containing the words sixth and/or ministry:
“All my life long I have been sensible of the injustice constantly done to women. Since I have had to fight the world single-handed, there has not been one day I have not smarted under the wrongs I have had to bear, because I was not only a woman, but a woman doing a man’s work, without any man, husband, son, brother or friend, to stand at my side, and to see some semblance of justice done me. I cannot forget, for injustice is a sixth sense, and rouses all the others.”
—Amelia E. Barr (1831–1919)
“the eave-drops fall
Heard only in the trances of the blast,
Or if the secret ministry of frost
Shall hang them up in silent icicles,
Quietly shining to the quiet Moon.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
