Edmund Barton was the first Prime Minister of the country of Australia, as such there really wasn't anyone before him.

Technically, from Jan 1st 1901 until when Barton was sworn in, the Governor General did exercise *some* powers that became part of Bartons job, but most people dont consider that.
