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.
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.
Abdallah Deng Nhial is the Minister of Environment for South Sudan.
New South Wales does not have a Prime Minister heading its government. Like all the states in Australia, it is led by a Premier. The first person to be given the title of premier of New South Wales was Stuart Donaldson.The Prime Minister leads the Federal Government of the whole country of Australia. The first Prime Minister of Australia was Sir Edmund Barton.It is worth noting that, prior to Federation, the terms "Premier" and "Prime Minister" were both applied to the position of head of government in New South Wales. The first Premier was Stuart Donaldson, who served from 6 June 1856 until 25 August 1856.
