Legislative Assembly Legislative Assembly Thursday, 16 August 2007 THE DEPUTY SPEAKER (Mrs D.J. Guise) took the chair at 9.00 am, and read prayers. SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF FISH STOCKS Petition MR G. SNOOK (Moore) [9.01 am]: It is my pleasure to table a petition on behalf of the Zone C Professional Fishermen’s Association. The petition reads - To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned, say that there is a need to ensure the proper and sustainable management of fish stocks in Western Australia. Now we ask the Legislative Assembly, when considering amendments to the Fish Resources Management Act 1994 or its regulations or management plans, to ensure that the amendments are in the best interests of the fisheries management by: 1. ensuring that the introduction of Integrated Fisheries Management requires that where a fish stock is allocated proportionally amongst user groups those groups will receive proportions of the total allowable catch and that any changes to future regulations relating to the allowable catch of that specie will not alter the proportions allocated. 2. rejecting any amendment to the West Coast Rock Lobster Fisheries Management Plan that in any way diminishes or removes current fishing rights or creates new or additional fishing rights. The petition bears 110 signatures. [See petition 236.] PAPERS TABLED Papers were tabled and ordered to lie upon the table of the house. SUNSET SITE CLASS A RESERVE NO 1667 Removal of Notice - Statement by Deputy Speaker THE DEPUTY SPEAKER (Mrs D.J. Guise): I advise that private members’ business notice of motion 1, notice of which was given on 15 August 2006 and renewed for a further 30 sitting days on 28 November 2006, will be removed and will not appear on the next notice paper. BUSSELTON HOSPITAL - RELOCATION TO VASSE Notice of Motion Mr T. Buswell gave notice that at the next sitting of the house he would move - That this house calls on the Minister for Health to - (a) acknowledge the outcomes of the referendum recently conducted by the Shire of Busselton which showed overwhelming public opposition to the government’s plan to relocate the existing Busselton hospital to Vasse; (b) reconsider in light of the referendum result and the government’s own specialist reports the decision to relocate the Busselton hospital to Vasse; and (c) initiate an independent probity audit of the processes utilised and decisions made in relation to the relocation of the Busselton hospital, with the outcome of the audit to be publicised. MR BARRY MACKINNON - RETIREMENT FROM DISABILITY SERVICES COMMISSION BOARD Statement by Minister for Disability Services MS S.M. McHALE (Kenwick - Minister for Disability Services) [9.04 am]: On Monday I had the pleasure of attending a function to honour Mr Barry MacKinnon on his retirement as chair of the Disability Services Commission Board after a period of almost 13 years at the helm. Barry MacKinnon has provided strong 4204 [ASSEMBLY - Thursday, 16 August 2007] leadership to the disability sector as head of the commission board. Barry took over at a time when the Disability Services Commission was in its infancy and since then has been instrumental in creating a nation- leading system to support people with disabilities and their families and carers. Barry has helped guide the development of the sector from a disparate collection of agencies to a strong and united force with shared values and goals. His contribution was significant, with members from both sides of the house acknowledging that his bipartisanship was without question. Barry’s involvement with the disability sector has resulted in a number of systemic changes to the provision of services to our clients, which will have tremendous benefits for people with disabilities in this state for years to come. Over the course of his chairmanship, his dedication to the sector through reviews will ensure that we remain responsive to the needs of clients, families and carers. His commitment to standards monitoring and the provision of quality services to our clients has been second to none. While this may appear mundane, the standard of service provision clearly impacts directly, and sometimes drastically, on a person with a disability, and Barry’s commitment to ensure standards monitoring has been recognised for the important work that it is. Barry has used his political and business expertise to assist his work as chair of the commission. Without a doubt, one of his best achievements was to get both state and federal Treasurers to recognise the tax burdens on people with a disability and their families and to make a number of substantial changes to their arrangements. I thank Barry on behalf of all people with disabilities, their families and carers and I also thank his own family. I thank him on behalf of the state government and all the former ministers, both Labor and Liberal, who have worked with him. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND JUSTICE STANDING COMMITTEE - NATURAL DISASTER RELIEF REPORT Statement by Minister for Police and Emergency Services MR J.C. KOBELKE (Balcatta - Minister for Police and Emergency Services) [9.06 am]: In 2006, the Community Development and Justice Standing Committee began its inquiry into Western Australian natural disaster relief arrangements. It specifically looked into the adequacy of state government assistance under the program for persons affected by a natural disaster. The committee tabled its report, which was the result of intensive, comprehensive and exhaustive consultation and research across the state, in this house on 10 May 2007. I commend the chair of the committee, the member for Joondalup, Tony O’Gorman, and committee members for the priority placed on this inquiry and the thoroughness of their investigations. The committee put forward a report to government making 14 recommendations that are intended to address and resolve any concerns of affected communities. These recommendations are supported in principle and can be grouped around five key themes, being: equitable financial contributions by local governments; improving the dissemination of information to those affected and increasing support to local authorities in time of natural disaster; increasing the amounts available for personal hardship and distress payments; making improvements to enable damaged infrastructure to be upgraded to a more resilient standard; and extra measures, including covering the cost of fencing materials and the secondment of staff to aid local recovery efforts. The Fire and Emergency Services Authority has already started to work through a number of initiatives, including State Alert and redevelopment of its Internet site, to ensure that comprehensive information is available to the community and particularly those affected by a natural disaster. This includes details of WANDRA objectives, assistance measures, administering agencies, eligibility criteria and application forms. A response to the committee’s report was due in this house earlier this week and I apologise that it was not finalised by the due date. A number of the recommendations raise significant issues for groups with an interest in our natural disaster relief arrangements, notably emergency service workers, local governments, primary producers and our main state government-body partners. As a result, FESA is still conducting consultations with appropriate agencies and a final analysis of the recommendations. An integral part of this is to consider the implications of changes made this year by the commonwealth government to the natural disaster relief and recovery arrangements, which have direct flow-on effects to Western Australia’s natural disaster relief arrangements. A final response to the recommendations and a report to this house will be forthcoming as soon as possible. Again, I thank the committee for its work and in particular its determination to ensure that Western Australians affected by a natural disaster receive the amounts due to them under natural disaster relief arrangements. LONELY PLANET TOURISM PROMOTION Statement by Minister for Tourism MS S.M. McHALE (Kenwick - Minister for Tourism) [9.09 am]: I am pleased to inform the house of two important initiatives by the Carpenter government to promote Western Australia as an ideal tourism destination to a worldwide audience. Thanks to a new partnership between Tourism Western Australia and globally recognised travel brand Lonely Planet, Western Australia will feature on Lonely Planet television and websites [ASSEMBLY - Thursday, 16 August 2007] 4205 and in Lonely Planet newsletters. The partnership will promote our state to over five million consumers in more than 170 countries. Lonely Planet’s audience is made up of free and independent travellers, which is an ideal fit for Western Australia’s adventurous tourism experiences. As part of the partnership with Lonely Planet, Tourism WA has developed English and Japanese language microsites featuring new TV footage, podcasts, a consumer competition, and images and articles from Lonely Planet. This is the first time that Lonely Planet has worked with a state tourism organisation to create custom video specifically for a destination. This week, Tourism Western Australia also launched a new TV website, www.westernaustralia.tv, or WATV. This is television on the Internet, whereby viewers can select what they want to watch and when they want to watch, for free. WATV is another Australian first, and proves we are ahead of the game when it comes to marketing Western Australia in the online forum. This initiative is expected to be viewed by millions around the globe, and features highly engaging and motivational content that takes the promotion of Western Australia to a new level. Footage of WA’s key destinations and major events is featured along with celebrity interviews undertaken around WA by Michael Peschardt, one of the BBC’s leading foreign correspondents. Through these innovative marketing initiatives, the Carpenter government is demonstrating its ongoing commitment to growing tourism in this state using the latest multimedia technologies.

  • The Founding and Establishment 1986-2014
    the founding and establishment of the university of notre dame australia 1986-2014 Peter Tannock November 2014 The Objects of The University of Notre Dame Australia are: a) the provision of university education within a context of Catholic faith and values; and b) the provision of an excellent standard of – i) teaching, scholarship and research; ii) training for the professions; and iii) pastoral care for its students. I have written this brief monograph as a personal account of some of the people and events associated with the founding and establishment of The University of Notre Dame Australia. It reflects my memory of, and opinions about, the main issues and challenges faced by the founders, and the milestones in the University’s progress, since it was first conceptualized in 1986. This monograph is a contribution to the University’s celebrations of 25 years since the passage of its founding Act through the Parliament of Western Australia in December, 1989. A subsequent complementary monograph, containing select records and photographs relevant to this story, will be published. I should like to acknowledge the great contribution of Leonie Peacock to the preparation of this publication. Peter Tannock Vice Chancellor Emeritus The University of Notre Dame Australia November 2014 1 The University of Notre Dame Australia Origins: 1986-1992 The idea of establishing a private Catholic University in Perth, Western Australia emerged in the second half of the 1980s. It arose from the realisation by the Archdiocese of Perth and the Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia that there were inadequate means of providing special training for the substantial numbers of lay people who would be needed for future service at all levels in the State’s extensive and growing Catholic school system.

  • Feminism, Politics and Women's Policy in Western Australia, 1972
    Burning Down the House?: Feminism, Politics and Women’s Policy in Western Australia, 1972-1998 Jasmina Brankovich, BA (Hons) UWA This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Western Australia School of Humanities, Discipline of History 2007 ABSTRACT This thesis examines the constraints and options inherent in placing feminist demands on the state, the limits of such interventions, and the subjective, intimate understandings of feminism among agents who have aimed to change the state from within. First, I describe the central element of a „femocratic‟ policy machinery as a three-tiered network of politicians, public servants, and women in community organisations and political lobbies, who were agents of a particular brand of feminism. I focus on the formation of a women‟s information service, passage of equal opportunity legislation, and a legislative decriminalisation of early abortion, as case studies where these networks were most effective in engendering change. Second, the politics of the 1970s Perth women‟s movement shared a heritage of peculiarly Australian tradition of social liberalism, where the state intervened to equalise the unequal social order. The „feminism‟ articulated within the state was influenced by social liberalism, but was also configured and reconfigured according to the specific Western Australian political context. Third, the material obtained in interviews with women politicians and senior bureaucrats constituted the most important source of the women‟s understandings of the politically volatile arenas of public life in which they worked. In particular, insights gathered in this material underscored and reinforced the complexities of feminist involvement with the state and the fragile, contraditory nature of feminist gains.

    MAKING A DIFFERENCE—A FRONTIER OF FIRSTS WOMEN IN THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT 1921–2012 David Black and Harry Phillips Parliamentary History Project Parliament of Western Australia 2012 Women in the Western Australian Parliament 1921–2012 ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ CHERYL LYNN EDWARDES MLA Kingsley 4 February 1989–25 February 2005 (Lib). Shadow Minister 1989-1993 and 2001–2005; Minister of State 8 March 1993–15 February 2001, including term (1993–1995) as first female Attorney General. Member several joint standing parliamentary committees, joint parliamentary select committees and parliamentary select committees. When Cheryl Edwardes was elected to the Legislative Assembly in 1989 for the new northern suburbs seat of Kingsley, she became only the second woman after June Craig (q.v.) to enter Parliament to represent the Liberal Party in that chamber since the party was founded in 1944. Immediately upon her election to Parliament, Cheryl was allocated a host of shadow portfolio roles and, after Richard Court had won the Liberal Party leadership from Barry MacKinnon in May 1992, she came within a ‘hair’s breadth’ of achieving the deputy leadership of the party when she was defeated by lot after the vote was tied with Colin Barnett. Her rapid rise to prominence was cemented when the Coalition won office in February 1993, with Cheryl becoming the only woman in the 17-member Cabinet. Of particular historic significance was her appointment as the first female Attorney General in Western Australia, a position she held at one stage in conjunction with the Justice Ministry. Not surprisingly, she was also allocated the Women’s Interests portfolios, which she retained until 1997.
