Submission to the Economics and Industry Standing Committee Inquiry Into Western Australia's Economic Relationship with India IND Submission 5 Recv'd 31/10/19 Submission to the Economics and Industry Standing Committee Inquiry into Western Australia’s Economic Relationship with India Legislative Assembly, Parliament of Western Australia Prepared by Hugo Seymour, Research Analyst, Perth USAsia Centre, October 2019 IND Submission 5 Recv'd 31/10/19 31 October 2019 Dear Ms. J.J. Shaw MLA Chair Economics and Industry Standing Committee [email protected] Sent Via: Ms Suzanne Valetta, Principal Research Officer The Perth USAsia Centre welcomes the opportunity to make a written submission to this important Inquiry into Western Australia’s Economic Relationship with India. Since its establishment in 2013 as a Perth-based foreign and strategic policy think tank, the Perth USAsia Centre has devoted significant energy and resources into enhancing its relationship with India, and commensurately the State’s relationship with India. In recent years, the Centre has developed considerable relationships with senior Indian policymakers and policy institutions, published consistently on the Australia-India (and WA-India) relationship, convened high- level programs in Perth and India highlighting the strategic and economic importance of the Australia-India (and WA-India) relationship, and brought senior Indian policy and defence leaders to WA. The Centre’s programs with senior Indian policy leaders have actively involved WA’s Ministers, business and industry leaders, Parliamentary members, scientific and academic heads, and emerging WA students. The Centre’s recent engagement with India includes: - Visits to New Delhi and Mumbai in September 2019 (Distinguished Fellow Peter Varghese AO, Board Director Hon Stephen Smith, Head of Programs Ms Erin Watson-Lynn and myself); New Delhi in January 2019 (Board Director Hon Stephen Smith and Research Analyst Hugo Seymour); New Delhi in August 2018 (Board Director Stephen Smith and myself); - Three programs in 2019 with Ambassador Anil Wadhwa (May 2019, September 2019, October 2019), author of the upcoming Australia Economic Strategy, including on Australia-India critical minerals partnerships at the Centre’s flagship In the Zone Conference (October 2019); - Recent public and private programs in Perth and India with: Director-General of India’s Institute for Defence and Analyses Ambassador Sujan R. Chinoy (October 2019); Former Chief of Naval Staff Admiral Robin Dhowan (Ret.) (August 2019); India’s former Foreign Secretary and National Security Adviser Ambassador Shivshankar Menon (October 2018); - Development of institutional relationships with leading Indian think tanks, including: Brookings India, Carnegie India, CUTS International, Gateway House, Institute for Defence and Analyses, Observer IND Submission 5 Recv'd 31/10/19 Research Foundation and Vivekananda International Foundation (e.g. Joint programs with Carnegie India, Gateway House and Observer Research Foundation, New Delhi and Mumbai, September 2019); - India-focused publications launched in 2019 in Perth and India: India in APEC: Views from the Indo- Pacific (Seymour, Perth, May 2019); and RCEP: An Economic Architecture for the Indo-Pacific? (Wilson, Seymour, New Delhi, January 2019). The Centre’s considerable engagement with India is designed to inform and enhance the State and the nation’s economic and strategic relationship with India. I trust the Centre’s submission to this Inquiry will assist the Committee in further understanding the State’s economic relationship with India, and in developing policies to strengthen the bilateral trade and investment relationship. Yours Sincerely, L. Gordon Flake, Chief Executive Officer, Perth USAsia Centre IND Submission 5 Recv'd 31/10/19 Executive Summary Over the last decade, as India’s economy has more than doubled in size, the value of Western Australia’s (WA’s) trade with India has more than halved. This is not due to a lack of economic complementary or trading opportunity; The structurally-driven growth of the Indian economy, which in a decade’s time will match the size of China’s today, provides WA with a premier opportunity to advance its market and sector economic diversification priorities; The increasing opportunities for WA-India economic engagement are arising as a result of India’s considerable growth in consumer and industry demand, as well as Indian Central and State Government policies to improve both the business climate and their delivery of essential services; WA has the private and public sector capacity to further participate in India’s economic rise, and a strengthened relationship will help ensure the State remains connected into the corridors of regional and global growth. And while an economic partnership between WA and India will have to be of a different kind to WA’s trading relationships with Northeast Asia, its development is both possible and necessary; A continued trend of divergence between India’s growth, its contribution to the global economy and its rising share of global outbound investment - and WA’s trade and investment levels with India - will likely further expose the WA economy to international risk over coming decades; The endorsement by the Commonwealth Government of the commissioned India Economic Strategy, which highlights the urgency of increased whole-of-nation engagement with India, outlines the criticality of intensified Australian State Government engagement. The Strategy asserts that India’s trajectory of liberalisation, trade openness and ease of doing business will continue to arc in favour of engagement – and the onus is on Australia to take advantage of the opportunities.

The extent to which WA’s economy is able to further participate in India’s rise will be a critical element in the State’s economic diversification equation, and pursuit of economic and employment security. India is already the world’s third largest economy, and is predicted to be the fastest growing large economy in the world over coming years.1 By 2030, India will be larger than the United States and the European Union are today, and will be roughly on par with the China of today.2 The structural drivers of India’s growth have reputable economists forecasting that by the middle of this century, India will be the second largest economy in the world.3 WA’s ongoing economic prosperity requires the State being connected into the corridors of global growth, and the rise of India bears no exception. WA’s economy over the last half-century has successfully further integrated into global trade, investment and commodity markets.4 This

  • 2021 WA State Election: a Campaign Like No Other – Sandwiched with Tactics from Previous Elections
    2021 WA State Election: A campaign like no other – sandwiched with tactics from previous elections. By Hon Eric Ripper AM 3 March 2021 Most State Governments win a second term. Their senior ministers are still mentally and physically fresh. Festering problems have been blamed on their predecessors. The upside of their agenda has been announced but any downsides, including the implementation problems, are still to emerge. Meanwhile, on the ground their enthusiastic new MPs have been building their personal votes. On the other side, many opposition politicians struggle to make the transition from government and to recover political direction, energy and aggression after their loss. Even before COVID-19, the re-election of the McGowan Government, albeit with a smaller majority, could have been expected. The pandemic has vastly enhanced the Government’s political circumstances in at least three ways. It has created an enormous opportunity to demonstrate competence and leadership and to attract public attention to the performance of the Premier – an opportunity which the Government has fully grasped. Secondly, COVID-19 has provided an alibi for broken promises and disappointed expectations. Finally, it has provided a shield against the politics of emerging issues like public sector fraud or homelessness. Despite the pandemic’s economic impact, many voters are better off than they were in 2017, when the WA economy was in recession. JobKeeper, Federal and State economic stimulus programs, rampaging iron ore prices, a rebound in house prices and the deal on WA’s share of the GST are all contributing. Party campaigns are usually made up of 33 days of policy announcements, which the party attempts to tie into a mutually reinforcing narrative.

  • A Police Whistleblower in a Corrupt Political System
    A police whistleblower in a corrupt political system Frank Scott Both major political parties in West Australia espouse open and accountable government when they are in opposition, however once their side of politics is able to form Government, the only thing that changes is that they move to the opposite side of the Chamber and their roles are merely reversed. The opposition loves the whistleblower while the government of the day loathes them. It was therefore refreshing to see that in 2001 when the newly appointed Attorney General in the Labor government, Mr Jim McGinty, promised that his Government would introduce whistleblower protection legislation by the end of that year. He stated that his legislation would protect those whistleblowers who suffered victimization and would offer some provisions to allow them to seek compensation. How shallow those words were; here we are some sixteen years later and yet no such legislation has been introduced. Below I have written about the effects I suffered from trying to expose corrupt senior police officers and the trauma and victimization I suffered which led to the loss of my livelihood. Whilst my efforts to expose corrupt police officers made me totally unemployable, those senior officers who were subject of my allegations were promoted and in two cases were awarded with an Australian Police Medal. I describe my experiences in the following pages in the form of a letter to West Australian parliamentarian Rob Johnson.

  • P77c-137A Mr Colin Barnett
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 16 February 2016] p77c-137a Mr Colin Barnett; Mr Roger Cook; Mrs Michelle Roberts; Mr Mark McGowan; Mrs Liza Harvey; Dr Tony Buti; Mr Peter Tinley; Mr Ben Wyatt; Ms Rita Saffioti; Mr Bill Johnston; Mr Peter Watson; Mr Paul Papalia; Mr Shane Love; Mr Dave Kelly; Ms Lisa Baker; Ms Libby Mettam PREMIER’S STATEMENT Presentation MR C.J. BARNETT (Cottesloe — Premier) [3.16 pm]: I rise to outline the Liberal–National government’s legislative and policy agenda for 2016—the eighth year of the government and the final year of the thirty-ninth Parliament. Bushfires: Unfortunately, once again I begin this Premier’s Statement noting the tragic consequences of recent major bushfires across the state. In November, fires near Esperance claimed four lives and burned more than 260 000 hectares of farm and bushland. In January, a massive fire near Waroona claimed two lives and razed the town of Yarloop, destroying some 181 homes and businesses. The effects of such devastation are heartbreaking, not least for the family and friends of those who died but also for the people who lost homes, animals and treasured possessions. I acknowledge and thank the efforts of all who fought the fires and the many thousands who supported those firefighting efforts, including volunteers. The government has appointed Euan Ferguson, former head of the Victorian Country Fire Authority and the South Australian Country Fire Service, to thoroughly investigate the response to the Waroona fire. The terms of reference for the investigation are wide enough to address issues relevant to the Esperance fire and other major events.

  • Don't Bet on Health – Stop the Introduction of Simulated Racing Machines in WA
    Don’t Bet on Health – Stop the introduction of simulated racing machines in WA The WA Government is currently considering legislation to privatise the TAB, the state-owned betting agency. As part of the sale, the legislation will permit simulated racing machines to be placed in TABs in WA. Simulated racing is defined in the proposed legislation as a game that uses animated images of a horse or greyhound race and randomly generates winners. The machines are a form of electronic gaming. The Bill has already passed the Legislative Assembly. It will be discussed in the Legislative Council when Parliament resumes in August. PHAA WA is very concerned about the introduction of simulated racing, as any expansion of electronic gaming is likely to increase gambling harm in WA. We ask your organisation to take action to encourage the WA Government to amend the proposed legislation by: Writing to all members of the Legislative Council, asking them to amend the TAB (Disposal) Bill 2019 to stop the introduction of simulated racing machines in WA (contact details here) Writing to key Ministers and Shadow Ministers expressing your concern, including Hon. Mark McGowan MLA, Premier; Hon. Ben Wyatt MLA, Treasurer; Hon. Roger Cook MLA, Minister for Health; Hon. Paul Papalia MLA, Minister for Racing and Gaming; and Hon. Simone McGurk MLA, Minister for Prevention of Family and Domestic Violence Raising awareness of the issue through social media (#DontBetOnHealth) and media releases Encourage other organisations and the community to write to the WA Government or raise awareness PHAA WA is happy to provide support to draft letters and social media posts, and to discuss media releases or further advocacy opportunities.

  • Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia
    Australian Journal of Politics and History: Volume 53, Number 4, 2007, pp. 614-667. Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia January to June 2007 JOHN WANNA The Australian National University and Griffith University Shadow Dancing Towards the 2007 Election The election year began with Prime Minister John Howard facing the new Opposition leader, Kevin Rudd. Two developments were immediately apparent: as a younger fresher face Rudd played up his novelty value and quickly won public support; whereas Howard did not know how to handle his new “conservative” adversary. Rudd adopted the tactic of constantly calling himself the “alternative prime minister” while making national announcements and issuing invitations for summits as if he were running the government. He promised to reform federal-state relations, to work collaboratively with the states on matters such as health care, to invest in an “education revolution”, provide universal access to early childhood education, and to fast-track high-speed broadbanding at a cost of $4.7 billion. Rudd also began to stalk and shadow the prime minister around the country — a PM “Doppelgänger” — appearing in the same cities or at the same venues often on the same day (even going to the Sydney cricket test match together). Should his office receive word of the prime minister’s intended movements or scheduled policy announcements, Rudd would often appear at the location first or make upstaging announcements to take the wind from the PM’s sails. Politics was a tactical game like chess and Rudd wanted to be seen taking the initiative. He claimed he thought “it will be fun to play with his [John Howard’s] mind for a while” (Weekend Australian Magazine, 10-11 February 2007).
