The Napthine Ministry was the 68th ministry of the Government of Victoria. It was a LiberalNational Coalition Government, led by the Premier of Victoria, Denis Napthine, and Deputy Premier, Peter Ryan. It succeeded the Baillieu Ministry on 6 March 2013, following the resignation of Ted Baillieu from the Liberal Party leadership, and the election of Denis Napthine as Liberal Party leader and Premier.[1] The Napthine Ministry consisted of 22 Ministers, most of which held multiple portfolios.
