The Rees Labor ministry was formed following the resignation of Premier Morris Iemma on 5 September 2008 and the unanimous election of Rees as Leader of the Labor caucus and Carmel Tebbutt as Deputy Leader.[1]
The ministry was sworn in on 8 September 2008 at Government House by the Lieutenant Governor, James Spigelman AC.[2] A few days earlier, on 5 September, Rees and Tebbutt were sworn as Premier and Deputy Premier respectively by the Governor of New South Wales Professor Marie Bashir AC.
This ministry covers the period from 5 September 2008 until 4 December 2009, when Kristina Keneally succeeded Rees as Premier in a Labor caucus revolt.[3][4]
