Premiers Of Queensland




Before the 1890s , there was no developed party system in Queensland . Political affiliation labels before that time indicate a general tendency only. Before the end of the first decade of the Twentieth Century , political parties were more akin to parliamentary factions, and were fluid, informal and disorganised by modern standards.
