Legislative Assembly Legislative Assembly Thursday, 24 August 2006 THE SPEAKER (Mr F. Riebeling) took the chair at 9.00 am, and read prayers. AUSTRALIND RAIL SERVICE Petition MR G.M. CASTRILLI (Bunbury) [9.02 am]: I present the following petition, consisting of 463 pages with 8 633 signatures, from residents of Bunbury - To the Honourable Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned people, are very concerned at a proposal that will reduce the Australind passenger rail service from Bunbury to Perth. The Australind passenger rail service is a trusted means of travel for a large cross section of the southwest community, especially the elderly, disabled and unchaperoned children. It is our strong view that the proposal put forward does not consider the requirements of the current and future users of the Australind service for the following reasons: The elderly and disabled passengers may not be physically capable to board the coaches proposed for the first leg of the journey from Bunbury to Mandurah. This grouping and children will be forced to undertake an unassisted transfer with their luggage to the Metro train in Mandurah from the coach. The Metro train will not provide ticketed seating and a guarantee that a seat will be available. It will not provide luggage handling and storage services, food or toilet amenities. The major benefit of reduced travelling times is disputed by obvious delays associated with transfers. Coach services to Perth from Bunbury already exist. Now we ask that the Legislative Assembly direct the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure to ensure that the Australind passenger rail service from Bunbury to Perth is not reduced in anyway, rather upgraded and maintained as an important community service. [See petition 138.] AUSTRALIND RAIL SERVICE Petition MR A.J. SIMPSON (Serpentine-Jarrahdale) [9.03 am]: I present the following petition signed by 630 people - 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 the Australind Rail Line between Perth and Bunbury is an important transportation service for the people of the Peel and South West regions. This includes the people of Serpentine-Jarrahdale, many of who rely on this service to transport them to Perth for work on a daily basis. The result of the proposed changes would make it difficult for many residents of the area to attend their places of employment. People will have little choice but to drive in to Perth for work, increasing the level of traffic congestion on our already overloaded roads. Now we ask the Legislative Assembly to support the community of Serpentine-Jarrahdale by ensuring that the current Australind Train Service is maintained. [See petition 139.] AUSTRALIND RAIL SERVICE Petition MR G.M. CASTRILLI (Bunbury) [9.04 am]: I present the following petition, consisting of nine pages with 109 signatures, from residents who live along South Western Highway - To the Honourable Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. 5200 [ASSEMBLY - Thursday, 24 August 2006] We, the undersigned people, are very concerned at a proposal that will reduce the Australind passenger rail service from Bunbury to Perth, particular the effects it will have for the people of the South West Highway communities. Despite Ms MacTiernan’s assurances, we believe the travelling times, due to the embarking and disembarking in the eleven or so smaller towns on the Sth. Western Highway, will greatly increase from the present time table. ! We do not wish to sacrifice the comfort and convenience of the Australind train for the cramped and less than adequate conditions on a bus. ! Not being able to get out of our seats and stretch our legs, or have the choice of three or four easily accessible toilets, as on the Australind, is we believe much less attractive to our needs. ! The advantage of having a kiosk on the train whereby passengers can have a hot drink or a sandwich or hot pie, is also one of the main attractions that a bus cannot provide. ! Travelling on the train all the way to Perth is so much more stress free and relaxing. Especially for the aged, people in wheel chairs, mothers with restless children. Not to mention the extra handling and carrying of luggage and lack of allocated seats on the city trains, which will be made worse in the peak hour travelling. Now we ask that the Legislative Assembly direct the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure to ensure that the Australind passenger rail service from Bunbury to Perth is not reduced in anyway, rather upgraded and maintained as an important community service. [See petition 140.] PAPERS TABLED Papers were tabled and ordered to lie upon the table of the house. MINISTERIAL CODE OF CONDUCT Statement by Premier MR A.J. CARPENTER (Willagee - Premier) [9.07 am]: This government made a commitment in its 2001 policy statement “Integrity in Public Life” to establish a ministerial code of conduct. We tabled the ministerial code of conduct on 30 May 2001, making us the first Western Australian government to introduce such a code. The code is intended as a guide to assist ministers to avoid conflicts of interest. It has been revised to take into account and resolve apparent deficiencies in the first edition. We have - made it clear that the onus of disclosure of the interests of a minister and those of the minister’s family members lies with that minister; extended the relevant provisions in the code to include de facto partners; provided a disclosure form to assist ministers to make their disclosure statements; included a requirement that significant changes in the declared interests of ministers and their family members shall be disclosed within four weeks of the minister becoming aware of the changes; included a requirement that a minister disclose any conflicts of interest, or potential conflicts of interest, of family members to the Premier in cabinet; allowed for the cabinet secretary to raise independently any conflict of interest, or potential conflict of interest, of a minister or his or her family, noting that this does not derogate from the minister’s responsibility; and allowed for categories of indirect pecuniary interests, only when ministers have pecuniary interests that are sufficiently remote, or sufficiently indirect, from their influence and control that they do not pose a realistic risk of conflict. In tabling the revised ministerial code of conduct, the government is reiterating its ongoing commitment to open and accountable government. [See paper 1784.] PREMIER Personal Explanation - Response to Question on Notice 961 MR A.J. CARPENTER (Willagee - Premier) [9.08 am] - by leave: Pursuant to standing order 148, I make a personal explanation regarding my response to question on notice 961 from the member for Vasse about details [ASSEMBLY - Thursday, 24 August 2006] 5201 of staffing at ministerial offices. Some of the information provided in tabled paper 1579 was not complete or correct. I table the corrected document. [See paper 1785.] SENTENCING LEGISLATION REFORM Statement by Attorney General MR J.A. McGINTY (Fremantle - Attorney General) [9.10 am]: I inform the house about the progress the state Labor government has made to ensure that people convicted of murder and wilful murder serve lengthy jail terms to reflect the heinous nature of their crimes. Western Australia has some of the toughest penalties in the nation when it comes to serious crimes committed against people. The Labor government’s sentencing legislation reforms ensure that those who commit the most serious offences receive longer sentences and serve longer time in prison. A Department of the Attorney General report on minimum sentences for these offences over the past 10 years shows that the minimum time to be served for wilful murder has increased by 32 per cent, while the minimum time to be served for murder has increased by 20 per cent. This means that the average minimum time to be served by prisoners given an indeterminate sentence for wilful murder has increased from 16 years in 1996 to 21 years in 2006. For murder the minimum time to be served increased from 10 years in 1996 to 13 years in 2006. Implicitly, the average time that is actually served across the total group will be significantly higher because large numbers of those sentenced for murder and wilful murder in the past 10 years have not been released and many will not be released in the near future. The changes to sentencing legislation made by this government in 2003 have closed the gap between the maximum sentences given and the time to be spent in prison. Before the removal of the one-third remission on sentences, the average time to be served by offenders entering prison was about 40 per cent of the average maximum sentence. By 2006 this proportion had increased to 58 per cent. An indication of the increased amount of time spent in prison for murder and wilful murder is provided by the data on prisoners released. This smaller group of prisoners consists of those who have been assessed as presenting a low risk to the public. Between 1996 and 2006, 199 people were given indeterminate sentences while only 83 were released. There is cumulative growth in the number of serious offenders who are not being released. Of those who have been released in the past 10 years, the average minimum time spent in prison increased by 66 per cent for wilful murder; that is, from 10 years to 16 years, while the average minimum time spent in prison for murder increased by 45 per cent; that is, from 8.5 years in 1997 to 12.2 years in 2006.

  • 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.

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.
