See Premiers of the Australian states for a description and history of the office of Premier.
Premier of Victoria (Australia)
Ministry
Provincial/State
Incumbent:
John Brumby
Style: The Honourable
Appointed by: David de Kretser
as Governor of Victoria
First : Dr William Clark Haines
Formation: 30 November 1855

Before the 1890s, there was no formal party system in Victoria. Party labels before that time indicate a general tendency only. From the 1880s, until after Federation in 1901, Victorian politics were dominated by Protectionist Liberals, who were opposed by Free Trade Conservatives. The Labor Party did not emerge as a major party until after 1910, which meant that Victoria was slow to develop a two-party system. Labor did not win a majority in the Legislative Assembly until 1952, and until that time weak minority governments were common. Since 1952, Victoria has had a stable two-party system.
