Some of the Party titles for the early Premiers are meaningless: Ministerialist was a contemporary term meaning `of the government party' while the term `opposition' may better be described as `former opposition'. as a minister is no longer the opposition once he formed a government. My limited information describes the early ministries as Protectionist or Conservative for Forrest, and obviously Throssell succeeded him. Leake is described as lioberal, possibly correctly with a small `l' until James succeeded him.
An anonymous editor changed "Sir John Forrest" to "Lord Forrest". I have reverted it. For most of his life John Forrest was known as "John Forrest" or "Sir John", and he is still referred to exclusively by these names. "Lord Forrest" is not appropriate here. This is consistent with Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles).

I agree with this reverted edit that Eric Ripper, although acting, is not the Premier and shouldn't be documented here as such. I believe he has been 'acting' for about the last month while Gallop has been on leave. regards Nachoman-au 11:48, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Geoff Gallop is no longer the premier. As such Eric Ripper is the Premier, albeit in a temporary role until a successor is chosen. This is different from when he was only acting on behalf of the Premier while he was out of state. Xtra 12:36, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Also see Prime Minister of Australia for the numerous acting Prime Ministers listed. Xtra 12:39, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Earle Page, Frank Forde and John McEwen are listed as Prime Ministers even though they served briefly after the deaths of the previous Prime Ministers at the time. Gordon Chalk is listed as a Premier of Queensland even though he was Premier for seven days between Jack Pizzey's death and Joh's appointment. Therefore Eric Ripper should be counted as a Premier of WA. Eric Ripper counts.-- The Shadow Treasurer 01:35, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Earle Page, Frank Forde and John McEwen were appointed Prime Minister of Australia by the Governor-General of Australia. Eric Ripper is Premier of Western Australia if and only if he was appointed Premier of Western Australia by the Governor of Western Australia. I do not believe that this has happened. Drew ( User:Hesperian 01:39, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Was Gordon Chalk appointed by the Governor of Queensland as Premier in 1968? Either way Eric Ripper still counts because as Xtra has said he is not acting as Premier while the Premier is not in the state he is now the Premier because Gallop is no longer Premier. Eric Ripper began as acting Premier when Gallop was still in office, Ripper is only continuing as acting Premier due to the timing of the resignation. Since Gallop has formally handed his resignation to the Governor, the Governor is therefore obligated to formally appoint Ripper as Premier for the interim period, not to do so would be irresponsible.-- The Shadow Treasurer 01:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Can someone with coding expertise check out this article's infobox which has a spacing problem causing 'Governor of Western Australia' to be only partly visible. Bjenks ( talk) 00:09, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Shortening has fixed it, but type size now needs to be increased again(:-)) Bjenks ( talk) 01:28, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Incumbent Mark McGowen has resigned effective today and has automatically been succeeded by Deputy Premier Roger Cook. We should update the info box on the side of this article accordingly. 123.243.118.76 ( talk) 11:23, 29 May 2023 (UTC)

Mark McGowan is no longer the Premier of Western Australia nor the Member for Rockingham. The article should change McGowan's MLA date from Present to 2023, as he resigned from the position and was succeeded by Magenta Marshall TechGamesPlus ( talk) 11:39, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
