The Pizzey Ministry was the 37th[1] ministry of the Government of Queensland and was led by Country Party Premier Jack Pizzey and Liberal Deputy Premier Gordon Chalk. It succeeded the Nicklin ministry,[1] led by Premier and Country Party leader Frank Nicklin, the longest serving cabinet in Queensland history, at that point.[2] It was preceded by a Gordon Chalk-led interim ministry, the second-shortest cabinet in Queensland history, by length of duration. The Pizzey ministry itself lasted for 197 days, coming to an end following the death of Country Party leader and Premier Jack Pizzey.
