McGowan Ministry
The McGowan Ministry is the 36th and current ministry of the Government of Western Australia. Led by the Premier Mark McGowan and Deputy Premier Roger Cook, it succeeded the Barnett Ministry following the 2017 election.[1][2]
Governor Kerry Sanderson designated 17 principal executive offices of the Government under section 43(2) of the Constitution Acts Amendment Act 1899.[3]
Notes
- On 22 March 2017, five days after the ministry was sworn in, Peter Tinley relinquished the Mines and Petroleum portfolio, to allay any concerns of a conflict of interest due to a family member working in the oil and gas industry. Tinley exchanged portfolios with Bill Johnston, taking on Johnston's Housing portfolio with Johnston taking Mines and Petroleum.[4]
