FWIW I found this about appointment of a minister, not sure if this affects issuance of license:
Tuesday 13 April 2010
In accordance with the Constitution Act, all ministerial appointments will expire tomorrow, Wednesday 14th April, being seven days after the return of the electoral writs to the Governor.
The Premier advised the Governor that he will not be able to put forward a complete list of names for ministerial appointments until Wednesday 21 April. Accordingly, in order to ensure that the State is not without a government between the 14th and 21st April, this afternoon, the Governor appointed and swore into office Mr Bartlett as the Premier, Ms Giddings as Deputy Premier, Attorney General and Minister for Justice and Mr Aird as Treasurer. It is intended that the remaining members of Cabinet will be appointed and sworn in on 21st April 2010.
