Bracks ministry

The Bracks Ministry was the 65th ministry of the Government of Victoria. It was led by the Premier of Victoria, Steve Bracks, and Deputy Premier, John Thwaites. It succeeded the Kennett Ministry on 20 October 1999,[1] following the defeat of Jeff Kennett's Liberal government in the 1999 state election. The ministry dissolved as a result of the retirement of Bracks and Thwaites and was replaced by the Brumby ministry led by new Labor leader John Brumby.
