| | Premiers of the Australian states - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Premier must resign if his or her party is defeated at a general election, or if he or she loses a vote of confidence in the lower house. | | | Each state has an elected legislature, and the party or coalition of parties which hold a majority of seats in the lower house of the state legislature forms the government, with the head of the government holding the title of Premier. | | | The Australian states were originally founded as British colonies, and executive power was held by a Governor (or sometimes a Lieutenant-Governor) appointed by the British Government (see Governors of the Australian states). |

| | After failing to persuade the Australian voters to support a referendum approving of conscription, Hughes and his followers were expelled from the Labor Party. | | | The state branches were also successful, except in Victoria, where the strength of Deakinite liberalism inhibited the party's growth. | | | The ALP was split between those who believed in radical policies such as NSW Premier Jack Lang, who wanted to repudiate Australia's debt to British bondholders, proto-Keynesians such as federal Treasurer Ted Theodore, and believers in orthodox finance such as Prime Minister James Scullinand a senior minister in his government, Joseph Lyons. |

| | Colony and Empire: Australia's Subservient Relationship With Britain |
| | Note: The Australian Parliament passed laws in 1968 and 1975 to stop appeals from federal courts to the Privy Council, and - with the consent of the states, and that of the British Government - passed the Australia Act in 1986 to stop appeals from state courts.(15) | | | In 1908 London forced a compromise between the Australian federal government and the NSW state government in a matter of trade representation; and in 1914 London moved to limit the exercise of power of the Governor of Tasmania. | | | The fact that Australia's Head of State is the Head of State of the United Kingdom is not just an incident to be taken in isolation, it is just the "tip of the iceberg" in the number of ways that Australia shows its cultural servitude to Britain. |
