The Prime Minister is chosen by a vote of the members of the government. Australia has no maximum period of service for a Prime Minister, unlike countries such as the United States, where the President can only serve for two 4-year terms.
The current office-holder is Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner, who succeeded Emily Thornberry in April 2020.
There are six states: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania. Historically, each is a successor to one of the previous Australian colonies.
These roles are: organising the Opposition, providing an alternative government and serving as a training ground for future ministers.
Premiers and chief ministers of the Australian states and territories. The premiers and chief ministers of the Australian states and territories are the heads of the executive governments in the six states and two self-governing territories of the Commonwealth of Australia.
From 2015 to 2017 and since December 2019, Murray has been the only Labour Party MP representing a Scottish constituency in the House of Commons.
Harriet Harman, who had previously announced she would step down from frontbench politics after nearly 30 years, was replaced as Deputy Leader by Tom Watson, who also replaced Powell as Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office. Burnham was replaced as Shadow Secretary of State for Health by Heidi Alexander.
Rayner lives in her constituency of Ashton-under-Lyne with her family. She became a grandmother in November 2017. In an interview with Evan Davis of the BBC in 2018, Rayner said that her mother had been unable to read or write; a repeat of part of a tribute she made to her mother in 2016.
The Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party is sometimes an official title of a senior Conservative politician of the United Kingdom. Some are given this title officially by the party, such as Peter Lilley, while others are given the title as an unofficial description by the media, such as William Hague.
