Honourable mention: Why some ex-pollies keep their title, others don’t bother
Friday April 23, 2021
Three former ministers have been added to the list of people able to be introduced as ‘The Honourable’. One former premier has not.
Former Premier Campbell Newman says he “hasn’t got around” to applying for the title The Honourable (ABC photo).
Governor Paul De Jersey has formally accepted Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s request that three Labor ministers who retired at the last election be able to keep the prefix. Senior politicians can apply to keep using the prefix if they have met the criteria set out by Buckingham Palace.
