"Kim Beazley is a natural leader - a true asset to Western Australia and someone who will advocate in the best interests of our State,” Mr McGowan said.

"His significant experience in defence and foreign affairs will be a valuable addition, as will his unparalleled international network that will assist in promoting Western Australia to the rest of the world.”

Mr Beazley holds a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts from UWA, a well as a Master of Philosophy from the University of Oxford.
