Timeline
Terence Kennedy Mills (born 22 December 1957) is an Australian politician.
Carney, taking a cue from the action of former Australian prime minister John Gorton in 1971, announced that a tie vote was not a vote of confidence and resigned.
Mills then took the leadership unopposed on a second vote.
In 1983, he commenced teaching at a private school in Perth, and in the same year married Roslyn Matilda Serich.
They had one son and one daughter.
In 1989, the family moved to the Northern Territory, where Mills became principal of a Christian school.
Mills joined the Country Liberal Party in the 1990s, and in a 1999 by-election, was elected to the seat of Blain in the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly.
Initially, he served as Chairman of Committees.
Mills, who had been the principal of a Christian school, was first elected to the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly in 1999, representing the seat of Blain.
In 2001, following the defeat of the Country Liberal government, he assumed the shadow portfolios of Youth Affairs, Education, Employment and Training, and Sport and Recreation.
He was CLP leader and leader of the opposition from 2003 to 2005, but was replaced before contesting an election.
On 14 November 2003, he replaced Denis Burke as Leader of the Opposition, and assumed the portfolios of Shadow Treasurer, Asian Relations and Trade, Territory Development, Railways, Racing and Gaming.
He resigned on 4 February 2005 to be replaced by Burke, who subsequently lost the 2005 election and his own seat.
Mills himself suffered a 9.5 percent swing amid the massive Labor wave that swept through the Territory.
He was left as the only CLP member from Palmerston, an area that has historically been a CLP stronghold.
He was the only CLP member holding a Darwin-area seat in the Legislative Assembly, and one of only two CLP members from the Top End.
Mills served as deputy opposition leader to Jodeen Carney for three years.
He returned to the leadership in 2008, gaining seven seats at the 2008 election and then forming a majority government after the 2012 election.
He spent less than a year as chief minister before being replaced by Adam Giles following a leadership spill.
On 29 January 2008, however, Mills asked Carney if she was willing to swap posts with him, with Mills taking over as leader and Carney electing to become a back bencher.
Carney turned the proposal down and instead called for a leadership spill.
The vote was tied at two votes for Carney and two votes for Mills.
At the August 2008 election, the CLP increased its representation to 11 seats (from four in the old parliament), regaining much of what it had lost in its severe beating of three years earlier.
When Mills was in opposition in 2011, he stated his support for an audit of the Northern Territory finances, saying that "[an audit] will be the start of a new era of transparency in government expenditure."
However, after coming into power he changed his mind on the issue.
He served as chief minister of the Northern Territory from 2012 to 2013 and was leader of the Country Liberal Party (CLP) from 2003 to 2005 and 2008 to 2012.
This rose further in 2012 when Labor-turned-independent MP Alison Anderson, with Mills' encouragement, joined the CLP.
At the 2012 general election, the CLP won government on a four-seat swing, primarily due to a large swing in remote Aboriginal areas which had historically supported Labor.
Mills was sworn in as Chief Minister of the Northern Territory on 29 August 2012.
In February 2013, following a large swing to Labor in the Wanguri by-election, canvassing took place within the CLP to gauge support for a challenge to Mills from his Attorney-General, John Elferink.
Lacking the support of key MLAs, Elferink ruled out a challenge and offered his resignation to Mills, which was declined.
In early March, Mills was unsuccessfully challenged by Health Minister Dave Tollner, who was sacked from Mills' cabinet after a six-and-a-half-hour party meeting.
A little over one week later, on 13 March 2013, Mills, who was overseas at the time, was ousted by Transport Minister Adam Giles in an 11–5 vote of his party's parliamentary caucus.
Following the leadership change, Tollner was promoted from the back bench to Deputy Chief Minister.
Mills could have refused to resign as chief minister, however, was not aware of the procedures surrounding handing in commission of office.
Mills resigned from the Legislative Assembly in 2014, but successfully recontested his former seat at the 2016 election as an independent.
In 2019 he announced the formation of a new party, the Territory Alliance.
He was joined by two other incumbent MLAs in early 2020, allowing the Alliance to surpass the CLP as the second-largest party in the Legislative Assembly, but lost his seat at the 2020 election.
Mills was born in Geraldton, Western Australia, and lived in the agricultural town of Mullewa for a time with his parents, Bernard and Patricia.
He was educated at St Patrick's College, Geraldton (now Nagle Catholic College), before moving to Perth and gaining a Diploma of Education at the Western Australian College of Advanced Education.
