biography
Perron is a member of the Country Liberal Party , the leading party of the Northern Territory of Australia from 1974 to 2001 , and was a member of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly from 1974 to 1995, which included the constituency of Stuart Park and then from 1983 represented by Fannie Bay until 1995 .
As early as December 1975 he became Minister for Local and Consumer Affairs in the government of Chief Minister Goff Letts and, after a cabinet reshuffle, Minister for Education and Planning from 1976 to 1977.
In 1977 Chief Minister Paul Everingham appointed him Deputy Chief Minister and Minister of Finance and Planning. After the start of self-government on July 1, 1978, he was again Deputy Chief Minister (Deputy Chief Minister) and Treasurer (Treasurer). At the same time he was Minister of Lands and Housing between 1978 and 1980 and subsequently Minister of Industrial and Community Development (Minister of Industrial Development and Community Development) until 1984.
Chief Minister Ian Tuxworth appointed him in October 1984 as Attorney General and Minister of Mines and Energy. He also held these offices under the subsequent administration of Chief Minister Stephen Hatton .
On July 13, 1988 he succeeded Stephen Hatton as Chief Minister of the Northern Territory and held this office until his replacement by Shane Stone on May 26, 1995. At the same time, he was Treasury Secretary and Minister for Police and Fire Services from September 1989 to July 1994 and Emergency Services (Minister for Police, Fire and Emergency Services).
Shortly after his resignation as Chief Minister, he introduced the initiative for the Rights of the Terminally Ill Act (law on the rights of the terminally ill). After this was proclaimed into law by the administrator of the Northern Territory, Austin Asche , it was the first law in the world to legalize euthanasia . After the entry into force, four Australians made use of this law to achieve their death before the Australian House of Representatives decided that the territory was not allowed to decide independently on this issue and thus repealed the law through the Euthanasia Laws Act 1997 (Euthanasia Act 1997).
