    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 26 November 2019] p9281a-9287a Mr Dean Nalder; Mr Bill Marmion; Mr Simon Millman; Mr David Templeman; Dr Tony Buti; Mr Ben Wyatt PUBLIC WORKS AMENDMENT (WA BUILDING MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY ABOLITION) BILL 2019 Second Reading Resumed from 26 September. MR D.C. NALDER (Bateman) [7.01 pm]: I stand to make my contribution to the second reading debate on the Public Works Amendment (WA Building Management Authority Abolition) Bill 2019. By way of background, I acknowledge that the Building Management Authority was established in 1984 to facilitate capital raising for public works. Funds were only ever borrowed on two occasions—approximately $285 million in 1984 and $55 million in 1996. Both of these amounts were fully repaid by 2008. We know that an amendment act has basically made this authority redundant, and that it has been financially dormant since 2009. Annual reports indicate that there are no assets or liabilities, employees, bank accounts or investments. The opposition agrees with the government and supports the carriage of this bill for the abolition of these works. [Quorum formed.] Mr D.C. NALDER: Nonetheless, given that there are no liabilities, there is a precautionary measure, which I acknowledge is generally taken in cases like this. The amending legislation includes a provision that any assets, rights, liabilities or obligations of the Western Australian Building Management Authority will be assigned to the Minister for Works on behalf of the state. On that basis, we feel very comfortable that this bill has taken into consideration all the necessary things to make sure that it is enacted correctly.

MR P. PAPALIA (Warnbro — Minister for Tourism) [10.16 am]: I have a contribution to make on the Duties Amendment (Additional Duty for Foreign Persons) Bill 2018. At the outset I make an observation about the extraordinary position the Liberal and National Party scallywags are taking on another revenue-raising opportunity that I thought everyone in Western Australia would support—that is, the opportunity to ensure that foreign property speculators contribute to education outcomes for Western Australians. What a wonderful policy and incredible opportunity. As I understand it, the opposition’s objections lie somewhere around the suggestion that mirroring the same rate of additional levy on foreign investors as every other jurisdiction in the country is somehow perverse and wrong—it is an extraordinary suggestion; a ridiculous idea—and that somehow we will drive foreign investors away and that will have a terrible impact on the Western Australian housing construction market. I think that is where the opposition is going. Is it housing construction or just the general property market? I am not really sure, shadow Treasurer. Mr D.C. Nalder: The general property market. Mr P. PAPALIA: It is the general property market. Based on the 2016–17

BUTI (Armadale) [10.27 am]: I present for tabling the seventeenth report of the Public Accounts Committee titled “More Than Just a Game: The Use of State Funds by the WA Football Commission”. I also present for tabling the submissions to the inquiry. [See papers 3980 and 3981.] Dr A.D. BUTI: Football, or Aussie Rules, has played a significant role in the lives of Western Australians for more than 130 years. As former Premier Dr Geoff Gallop remarked, “No sport has had such a critical impact on our social and cultural development as Australian Football.” Football is a game that develops tribal loyalties and arouses passions, but it is also more than just a game. As noted by Dr Neale Fong, a former chair of the West Australian Football Commission, the history of football in Western Australia is not only about footballers, clubs and supporters, it also involves relationships with networks of politicians, governments, businesses and personalities involved in the game. The West Australian Football Commission, established in 1989, is the body charged with responsibility for the overall development and strategic direction of football in this state. The creation of the West Australian Football Commission is unique to WA.
