Talk:First McGowan ministry

Merger proposal
I propose merging Second McGowan Ministry into First McGowan Ministry. All other consecutive ministries of the same premier are in a single article. This article can then be moved to its original title McGowan Ministry after the merge is complete. Steelkamp (talk) 08:38, 28 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose so what's the fuss? look at other states and how they do it, before trying that here... in most case they separate the ministries... JarrahTree 10:21, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Actually there is no consistency.
 * South Australia: You have to go as far back as First Waterhouse Ministry and Second Waterhouse Ministry to find ones that are separated.
 * New South Wales: They are all separated as far as I can tell.
 * Queensland: None are separated aside from First Palaszczuk Ministry, Second Palaszczuk Ministry and Third Palaszczuk Ministry.
 * Tasmania: Some are separated, some are not.
 * Victoria: Separated as far as I can tell.
 * Australian Capital Territory: Separated as far as I can tell.
 * Northern Territory: Not separated.
 * There is no national consistency, so surely state consistency would be better than nothing. There are larger problems here with naming as well, so I am going to go to WT:AUSPOL. Steelkamp (talk) 07:04, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Well if you want to be a renaming hero (beware the echo chamber), go do it - but that does not convince me that the Mcgowan items need to be squashed.. I wasnt suggesting there was consistency - at least you can see the issue(s), state exceptionalism is a perennial problem in the oz project, but you start on this one, there are numerous similar cases in a wide range of topics.
