Why do some members on the list have a honorific "Hon" or "Dr" and others not? I would have thought that all are "Hon". for Honourable. Enthusiast (talk) 14:03, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect. Only certain members are entitled to be called Honourable, and only certain members are entitled to be called Dr. The Drover's Wife (talk) 16:55, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Specifically those who are, or have been, members of the Executive Council (i.e. ministers), as well as a few others. Frickeg (talk) 21:56, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Though I see what is pointed out above, I do not see why there is a need for any honorific in this list. In most other contexts a honorific is not used. Enthusiast (talk) 10:09, 23 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
