Mia Davies shadow ministry
Open-knowledge reference entry
The Davies shadow ministry was the shadow ministry led by Mia Davies in the Parliament of Western Australia.
Ministry
Following the 2021 election, the Liberal Party and Nationals Party entered into a formal alliance to form opposition, with National Party being the senior party and the Liberal Party being the junior party in the alliance. Shadow ministerial positions were also held by parliamentary members of both parties. This was similar to the agreements between both parties when they were in government following the 2008 and 2013 elections. Similar to the 2008 and 2013 agreements, the deputy leader of the senior party, Nationals deputy leader Shane Love, was the deputy opposition leader, instead of the leader of the junior party, Liberal Party leader David Honey. Under the alliance, each party maintained their independence, and could speak out on issues when there was a disagreement with their partner.
Former members
Vince Catania and James Hayward were members of the Shadow Cabinet following the 2021 election. In December 2021, Hayward resigned from the National Party following him being charged with child sex offences. In June 2022, Catania announced his intention to resign from parliament in August to spend more time with his family. He tendered his resignation to the speaker on 8 August.

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 7, 2026.

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
