The Carr ministry (1997–1999) or Second Carr ministry was the 86th ministry of the New South Wales Government, and was led by the 39th Premier of New South Wales, the Honourable Bob Carr, MP, representing the Labor Party.
The ministry covered the period from 1 December 1997 until 8 April 1999, when Carr led Labor to victory at the 1999 state election.
Ministers are listed in order of seniority.
The first arrangement covered the period from 1 December 1997 until 30 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. Carr made a minor reconfiguration of the ministry.
The second arrangement covers the period from 30 April 1998, when Brian Langton resigned from the ministry, until 8 April 1999 when the ministry was configured following the 1999 state election. Only changes to the ministry are shown.
