Former Queensland Officials Granted Lifetime Use of 'Honourable' Title

Premier David Crisafulli approved 11 former ministers and officials to retain the title under longstanding parliamentary rules.

Former Queensland Premier Steven Miles and 10 ex-ministers have been granted lifetime use of the 'Honourable' title after formal approval by the state government.
The decision, made under established rules, requires officials to meet specific criteria and submit applications for consideration.
The updated list, approved by Governor Jeannette Young, includes notable figures such as Grace Grace, Shannon Fentiman, and former judge Peter Applegarth.
Premier Crisafulli's recommendations follow earlier approvals for other former officials, including Curtis Pitt and Mark Bailey, over the past year.
The announcement coincides with the resumption of state parliament and anticipation of the 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games review next week.
