The Davies shadow ministry was the shadow ministry led by Mia Davies in the Parliament of Western Australia.
Ministry
editFollowing the 2021 election, the Liberal Party and Nationals Party entered into a formal alliance to form opposition, with National Party being the senior party and the Liberal Party being the junior party in the alliance. Shadow ministerial positions were also held by parliamentary members of both parties.[1] This was similar to the agreements between both parties when they were in government following the 2008 and 2013 elections.[2] Similar to the 2008 and 2013 agreements, the deputy leader of the senior party, Nationals deputy leader Shane Love, was the deputy opposition leader, instead of the leader of the junior party, Liberal Party leader David Honey. Under the alliance, each party maintained their independence, and could speak out on issues when there was a disagreement with their partner.[3][4]
