The first edition of the Parliamentary Handbook was published in 1922 and together the succeeding volumes represent one of the best historical record of any Parliament in Australia. In this edition a significant restructure of the Handbook has taken place in an effort to improve usability for the reader. The staff of both Houses of Parliament have done an enormous amount of work to restructure this volume for easier reference which has resulted in a more accurate, reliable and internally consistent body of work. It should be noted that this volume is accurate as at 9 May 2018. The volume covers four parts of the Parliament’s history: the current Fortieth Parliament; the record of the Parliament from 1890 when responsible government was granted; the historical record of the Parliament from 1832 to 1890 when the Parliament consisted of only the Legislative Council; and Elections and Referendums, including the most recent State general election in 2017. No preface could be complete without acknowledging the significant contribution to the historical record of the Parliament of Western Australia of Professor David Black. Once again, Professor Black has edited this volume, his seventh since commencing the modern format of the Parliamentary Handbook in 1990 with the Centenary volume. Professor Black has been assisted by a range of different people over the years and on this occasion Renae Jewell and Denis Hippolyte have provided that editorial assistance. Professor Black’s work on the Parliamentary Handbook has been undertaken in concert with his role on the Parliamentary History Advisory Committee, for which he has been recognised by his appointment in 2004 as a Parliamentary Fellow. We can thoroughly recommend the Handbook to all students of Western Australian parliamentary politics.
