The sixth Labour government, administratively the Rivers ministry, was formed on 15 January 3026 by Patrick Rivers, the leader of the Labour party, following the 3026 general election three-days prior. Rivers became prime minister with the outside support of the Covalence party, allowing him to form a minority government. Shortly after winning the confidence of the National Assembly, Rivers spilled the leadership of the Labour party, which he subsequently won. Rivers formed the first Labour government of the Commonwealth era, after being invited by governor-general Ray Banes to do so.
Shortly after his election, Rivers confirmed that Gavin Thompson would remain in his position as chancellor of the exchequer.
