The office of Parliamentary Secretary was created by the Constitution and other Acts (Amendment) Act 67 of 1975. This Act inserted a new part 4A into the Constitution Act and section 38B (1) stated:

"The Premier may, from time to time, appoint a Member or Members of the Legislative Assembly to hold office as Parliamentary Secretary."

The 1975 Act also amended the Parliamentary Allowances and Salaries Act to authorise payment for a salary and expense allowance for the Parliamentary Secretary.

Although the office of Parliamentary Secretary was being filled from early 1975, the legislation to formally establish the position and authorise a salary and expense allowance did not pass through Parliament until September - October 1975. The list of Parliamentary Secretaries is as follows:-


Liberal-Country Party Government 1975 - 1976

John Marsden MASON	January - 30 June 1975
William Peter COLEMAN	30 June - 10 October 1975
James Arthur CLOUGH	10 October 1975 - 23 January 1976
Keith Ralph DOYLE	23 January - 1 May 1976

Australian Labor Party Government 1976 - 1988

George PACIULLO

14 May 1976 - 7 October 1978

When the new ministry was sworn in on the 19 October 1978, following the 7 October 1978 election, the office of Parliamentary Secretary was not filled and remained in abeyance for the remainder of the life of the ALP Government.


Liberal-National Party Government 1988 - 1995
After the 1988 election the Parliament passed the Constitution (Parliamentary Secretaries) Amendment Act 2 of 1988. This Act amended the existing part 4A to allow Members of both houses to serve as Parliamentary Secretaries.
