Composition of ministryedit
The ministry covers the period from 5 April 1984 the Wran–led Labor Party was re-elected at the 1984 election. There were four minor rearrangements of the ministry, commencing in November 1984 with the death of Paul Landa,[b] and a second rearrangement in December.[c] The third rearrangement in February 1985 saw the creation of a new portfolio of Ethnic Affairs.[d] The fourth minor rearrangement was caused by the retirement of Eric Bedford and Kevin Stewart in December 1985.[e] The ministry ended on 6 February 1986 when Wran reconfigured his ministry, and the eighth Wran ministry was formed.[5]
^Labour retained 24 seats in the Legislative Council however the council had expanded from 44 to 45 seats due to the final step in the transition to a fully directly elected body.
