The Palaszczuk Ministry is a ministry of the Government of Queensland led by Annastacia Palaszczuk. Palaszczuk led the Australian Labor Party to victory in the 2015 state election, forming a minority government with the support of independent MP Peter Wellington. Her interim ministry was sworn in on 14 February 2015 by Governor Paul de Jersey. The full Palaszczuk Ministry was sworn in two days later. Several changes were made to the ministry on 8 December 2015, with 3 cabinet positions and one assistant ministry added.
The interim ministry, a triumvirate consisting of Annastacia Palaszczuk, Jackie Trad and Curtis Pitt, was sworn in on 14 February 2015. It had only one more member than the First Whitlam Ministry, which was a duumvirate and the smallest ministry in Australia's history.
It was only the second Australian ministry in which both the Premier and Deputy Premier were women; the first was Kristina Keneally and Carmel Tebbutt in New South Wales (4 December 2009 to 28 March 2011).
