Answer Sydney is a capital city and has a Lord Mayor who is the nearest thing to Sydney's leader. As at 2007, the mayor is Clover Moore. Sydney is also part of New South Wales, an Australian state, and the Premier of New South Wales is Morris IEMMA.
The first Prime Minister of Australia Edmund Barton was elected in 1901. He was leader of the federal Protectionist Party.
Actually South Australia doesn't have a separate prime minister as it is a state of Australia and not a separate country. So the Prime Minister of Australia - Kevin Rudd - is the Prime Minister of all Australian states. South Australia has a Premier who at the present is Mike Rann of the Australian Labor Party.
There was no single political leader in Australia before 191, as there was no country of Australia prior to 1901. The continent of Australia was divided into colonies, each led by a premier or, prior to that, a governor. It was not until 1 January 1901, when the six colonies of New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania came together under a single federal government in an act known as Federation, that the nation known as the Commonwealth of Australia was formed, and a Prime Minister chosen to lead it.
Each of the states and territories in Australia has its own leader, who also leads the Parliament.Current state Premiers in Australia, as of 2013 are:Premier of New South Wales - Barry O'FarrellPremier of Victoria - Denis NapthinePremier of Queensland - Campbell NewmanPremier of South Australia - Jay WeatherillPremier of Western Australia - Colin BarnettPremier of Tasmania - Lara GiddingsThe Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory do not have Premiers, but a Chief Minister. The chief Minister in the Northern Territory is Adam Giles and the Chief Minister of the ACT is Katy Gallagher.
The term 'Prime minister' is applied only to the federal leader of Australia, not to the state leaders. Each of the states has a Premier. The first Premier of the state of South Australia was Boyle Finniss, who was in office from 24 October 1856 to 21 August 1857.
Sir John Forrest was the first leader of Western Australia.
