[edit] 'First'
Until Rudd has had multiple ministries, wouldn't the established convention require that "First" not be used? Other one-ministry leaders (such as Barton) don't show a "first" when there has not been a "second". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.208.193.118 (talk) 08:18, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- I don’t know whether there’s anything official about the numbering in any event. For example, Menzies' final ministry (his 9th, I think) is shown in the Parliamentary Handbook thus – no number, just dates. The Rudd government’s official Ministry list [1] says just “Rudd Ministry”. However, I think that numbers are useful for obvious reasons. Even for the first of only one (so far), it may be helpful for our readers to know that it is indeed the first. It doesn’t necessarily imply there will be a second, or that there won’t be. It’s factual and NPOV. I say leave it. -- JackofOz (talk) 13:43, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
