Which person leads Western Australia’s state government?

• A. Anthony Albanese
• B. King Charles
• C. Roger Cook
• D. David Hurley

Answer: (C)

In Western Australia, the person who leads the state government is the Premier. The Premier is the head of government for the state, responsible for running the state’s administration and directing policy, and is typically the leader of the political party (or coalition) with the majority in the state parliament. The Governor acts as the Crown’s representative in the state and performs ceremonial and formal duties, such as inviting the Premier to form government and giving royal assent to laws, but does not run daily government. Anthony Albanese leads the national government, King Charles is the monarch, and David Hurley is the federal Governor-General. The WA leader is Roger Cook, the Premier.
