__NOTOC__
The '''third Dibbs ministry''', the 27th ministry of the [[New South Wales|Colony of New South Wales]], was led by [[George Dibbs|Sir George Dibbs]], leader of the [[Protectionist Party]], following the [[1891 New South Wales colonial election|1891 New South Wales election]], which saw the Labour Party win seats in the [[New South Wales Legislative Assembly]] and the balance of power. With no party having a majority, [[Henry Parkes|Sir Henry Parkes]] held on as Premier until October 1891 when he lost a vote in the Legislative Assembly, causing Parkes to resign as [[Premier of New South Wales|Premier]] and leader of the Free Trade Party.<ref name="Parkes ADB">{{Australian Dictionary of Biography |first=A W |last=Martin |title=Parkes, Sir Henry (1815–96) |id2=parkes-sir-henry-4366 |access-date=2021-02-26}}</ref> Dibbs formed the ministry on 23 October 1891, with Labour support, and comprised 10 ministers.

Dibbs was elected to the New South Wales Legislative Assembly in 1874 and served as Premier on three occasions. The title of Premier was widely used to refer to the Leader of Government, but was not a formal position in the government until 1920. Instead the Premier was appointed to another portfolio, usually [[Colonial Secretary of New South Wales|Colonial Secretary]]. Dibbs took over as Premier on the first occasion in October 1885 following the resignation of [[Alexander Stuart (Australian politician)|Alexander Stuart]] due to ill-health, with his ministry lasting for 75 days. This was a period of great financial stress for the colony. Dibbs served as colonial secretary in the [[Jennings ministry]], before it too suffered budgetary pressures. It was during this time that the party system was formed in New South Wales with Dibbs aligning himself with the Protectionist Party. His second term as premier lasted for just 49 days.<ref name="Dibbs adb">{{cite AuDB |first=Bruce E |last=Mansfield |title=Dibbs, Sir George Richard (1834–1904) |id2=dibbs-sir-george-richard-3408 |access-date=20 August 2019}}</ref><ref name=nsw>{{cite NSW Parliament |title=Sir George Richard Dibbs (1834–1904) |id=680 |former=Yes |access-date=11 May 2019}}</ref><ref name=dab>{{Dictionary of Australian Biography |first=Sir George Richard (1834–1904) |last=Dibbs |shortlink=0-dict-biogD.html#dibbs1 |access-date=18 July 2011}}</ref>

[[Federation of Australia|Federation]] was an emerging issue, with Dibbs supporting an initial customs union, but was a severe critic of the strong federalism promoted by Parkes and Barton.<ref name="Dibbs adb"/> Despite their disagreement on federalism, Barton agreed to be [[Attorney General of New South Wales|Attorney General]], based on an agreement that Barton was free to promote federalism and Dibbs would not obstruct discussion on federation in the Legislative Assembly.<ref name="Barton ADB"/>

Under the constitution, ministers in the Legislative Assembly were required to resign to recontest their seats in an election when appointed.<ref name="Twomey 2004">{{cite book |first1=Anne |last1=Twomey |author-link=Anne Twomey (academic) |title=The Constitution of New South Wales |year=2004 |publisher=Federation Press |isbn=9781862875166 |pages=[https://books.google.com/books?id=KayCZfZwafwC&pg=PA442 442] |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KayCZfZwafwC&pg=PA442 |access-date=2020-11-24}}</ref> Such ministerial by-elections were usually uncontested and on this occasion a by-election was required in [[1891 East Sydney colonial by-election 2|East Sydney]] (Edmund Barton). Barton was comfortably re-elected while the other seven other ministers, Sir George Dibbs ([[Electoral district of Murrumbidgee|The Murrumbidgee]]), [[Henry Copeland (Australian politician)|Henry Copeland]] ([[Electoral district of New England|New England]]), [[John Kidd (politician)|John Kidd]] ([[Electoral district of Camden|Camden]]), [[William Lyne]] ([[Electoral district of Hume|The Hume]]), [[John See]] ([[Electoral district of Grafton|Grafton]]), [[Thomas Slattery]] ([[Electoral district of Boorowa|Boorowa]]) and [[Francis Bathurst Suttor|Francis Suttor]] ([[Electoral district of Bathurst|Bathurst]]), were re-elected unopposed.<ref>{{cite NSW election |title=1881 to 1893 by-elections |year=1891 |district=ByElections |access-date=10 September 2020}}</ref>

Dibbs visited London in 1892 and during his absence [[Edmund Barton]] was acting Premier,<ref name="Barton ADB"/> while Francis Suttor was acting Colonial Secretary.<ref name="Record pt 6"/> In January 1893 [[Julian Salomons|Sir Julian Salomons]] resigned from the ministry because he disagreed with several points of government policy.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13894878 |title=Vice-President of the Executive Council: resignation of Sir Julian Salomons |newspaper=[[The Sydney Morning Herald]] |date=26 January 1893 |access-date=29 June 2021 |page=7 |via=Trove}}</ref>

Barton and [[Richard Edward O'Connor|Richard O'Connor]], the [[Minister of Justice (New South Wales)|Minister of Justice]] had been representing the plaintiff in the case of ''[[David Proudfoot (engineer)|Proudfoot]] v the Railway Commissioners'' before taking office and retained the brief as they had the right to carry out private practice as barristers. Two years later the case still had not been resolved and in November 1893 they were questioned in parliament about whether it was proper for ministers to act against a government department. Barton and O'Connor returned the brief however Barton argued that the Railway Commissioners were not a government department and were not conducting their business through the Crown Law Office such that the ministers had the right in their professional practice, to appear against them in court.<ref name="Barton ADB">{{Australian Dictionary of Biography |first=Martha |last=Rutledge |title=Barton, Sir Edmund (Toby) (1849–1920) |id2=barton-sir-edmund-toby-71 |access-date=2021-06-29}}</ref><ref name="O'Connor ADB">{{Australian Dictionary of Biography |last=Rutledge |first=Martha |year=1988 |id2=oconnor-richard-edward-dick-1102 |title= O'Connor, Richard Edward (Dick) (1851–1912) |access-date=2021-06-29}}</ref> The government lost an adjournment motion on this point by 69 to 48 and both Barton and O'Connor resigned from the ministry.<ref name="Hansard">{{cite Hansard |url=https://api.parliament.nsw.gov.au/api/hansard/search/daily/searchablepdf/HANSARD-290296563-10876 |format=pdf |title=Adjournment: Proudfoot v Railway Commissioners |page_start=1727 |page_end=1772 |house=Legislative Assembly |jurisdiction=New South Wales |access-date=2021-06-29}}</ref> [[Charles Heydon]] was appointed Attorney General while Thomas Slattery was appointed Minister of Justice in addition to his duties as [[Secretary for Mines and Agriculture (New South Wales)|Secretary for Mines and Agriculture]].

Dibbs treated the adjournment as a vote of censure, and persuaded Governor [[Robert Duff (politician, born 1835)|Robert Duff]] to [[Legislative session#Australia|prorogue]] parliament.<ref name="Hansard"/> The Legislative Assembly resumed in January until it was dissolved on 25 June 1894, and a [[1894 New South Wales colonial election|general election was held on 27 July 1894]], at which Dibb failed to carry the vote. Although he had lost control of the Assembly, Dibbs said he would not resign until after parliament had reconvened, but the Governor forced his hand. Dibbs sought the appointment of several persons by the Governor to the then fully appointed [[New South Wales Legislative Council|Legislative Council]], which Duff refused to do, on the ground that the ministry had been condemned by the colony. In consequence, Dibbs and the ministers resigned on 2 August 1894.<ref name="Dibbs adb"/><ref name="Record pt 6">{{NSW Parliamentary Record |part=6 |accessdate=2021-01-22}}</ref>

The third Dibbs ministry was followed by the [[Reid ministry (New South Wales)|Reid ministry]], led by [[George Reid]], who had replaced Parkes as leader of the [[Free Trade Party]].<ref name="George Reid NSW parl">{{Cite NSW Parliament |title=Sir George Houston Reid (1845–1918) |id=855 |former=Yes |access-date=23 May 2019}}</ref><ref name="Record pt 6"/> The new parliament opened on 7 August 1894.
