Minister for Commerce (Western Australia)






Minister for Commerce and Industrial Relations is a position in the government of Western Australia, currently held by Bill Johnston of the Labor Party. The position was first created after the 1993 state election, for the government of Richard Court. The minister is responsible for the state government's Department of Commerce.


The current Minister for Commerce and Industrial Relations holds responsibilities that were previously given to several separate ministers – the Minister for Works (abolished 2001), Minister for Labour (abolished 2001), and Minister for Consumer Affairs (abolished 2008).
