[edit] How is the Premier chosen????

A brief description of how the premier is appointed/removed would be helpful. Appointed by the legislative assembly after election I think. But what if there is no clear majority? I know that independents were responsible for electing Steve Bracks in 1999. Can they change their mind mid-term? Vote of no confidence?

Premiers are appointed by the Governor (under convention, according to the advice of an ougoing Premier who has lost the election, and resigns his commission as a result. This is an aspect of the Westminster System).--Grahamec 10:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

More to add, later, though writing biographies for the earlier ones will be pretty tough . . . --Robert Merkel
