Northern Territory legislative election, 2005

Legislative elections were held in the Northern Territory of Australia on June 18, 2005. The centre-left Australian Labor Party, led by Chief Minister Clare Martin, won a second term with a landslide victory, winning six of the ten seats held by the opposition Country Liberal Party in the 25-member Northern Territory Legislative Assembly, bringing their total to 19. It was the largest victory in any Northern Territory election since self-government in 1978 and was the first time a party leader in the Territory had ever been defeated in their own electorate, with Opposition Leader Denis Burke losing his seat of Brennan.
