    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 23 June 2020] p4041f-4050a Speaker; Mr Dean Nalder; Ms Libby Mettam; Mrs Liza Harvey; Mr Ben Wyatt; Ms Rita Saffioti; Amber-Jade Sanderson; Mr Bill Johnston PLAN FOR JOBS — UNEMPLOYMENT Matter of Public Interest THE SPEAKER (Mr P.B. Watson) informed the Assembly that he was in receipt within the prescribed time of a letter from the member for Bateman seeking to debate a matter of public interest. [In compliance with standing orders, at least five members rose in their places.] Mr Z.R.F. Kirkup interjected. The SPEAKER: Yes, I know. I call the member for Dawesville to order for the first time. MR D.C. NALDER (Bateman) [3.19 pm]: I move — That this house condemns the McGowan Labor government for failing to have a long-term jobs plan to address the highest unemployment rate in the nation and the highest number of unemployed in the state’s history. The McGowan government’s jobs promise is in tatters. We are facing a jobs crisis never seen in Western Australia’s history. A total of 104 000 jobs have been lost in the last three months, from February to May 2020, and WA now has 30 000 fewer jobs than it did in March 2017. Let me remind members that ahead of the 2017 election, the Premier, then the Leader of the Opposition, promised to fix WA’s unemployment crisis. Last February, the Premier promised to create at least 150 000 new jobs by 2023–24, yet there are now 30 000 fewer jobs than there were when he announced an unemployment crisis.

  • 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.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 17 February 2016] p336a-352a Mr Mark McGowan; Mr Ben Wyatt; Mr Sean L'Estrange; Ms Rita Saffioti; Mr Frank Alban; Mr Bill Johnston PREMIER’S STATEMENT Consideration Resumed from 16 February on the following question — That the Premier’s Statement be noted. MR M. McGOWAN (Rockingham — Leader of the Opposition) [12.20 pm]: I rise to speak on the Premier’s Statement. The year 2016 marks the final year before the state election. It is a crucial year for Western Australia. Western Australia is at the crossroads. Our state needs change; it needs a change of direction and Western Australians know it. Western Australia is crying out for a change from the management that this government has provided this state. Our state needs a new government. It needs new ideas and it needs a new direction. We need to get rid of our tired, old government—a government that has created an enormous mess in Western Australia. We need a competent, responsible and honest government in Western Australia. We need a government with a vision for the future—the long-term future of Western Australia—and a team that is prepared to hang in there for the long haul. WA Labor has a team that is ready to govern. I love this state. It has provided me with opportunities beyond my wildest imaginings. I may have come from somewhere else, but I have lived the majority of my life in Western Australia. This is a state of resilient, decent and hardworking people with good values of honesty, compassion and decency.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 16 September 2015] p6507b-6516a Mr Joe Francis; Ms Margaret Quirk EMERGENCY SERVICES LEVY Motion Resumed from 9 September on the following motion moved by Ms M.M. Quirk — That this house condemns the Barnett government for misappropriating funds collected by the emergency services levy for purely administrative purposes instead of for frontline emergency needs, and calls for a system of independent allocation of ESL funds to be implemented as recommended in the first Keelty inquiry. MR J.M. FRANCIS (Jandakot — Minister for Emergency Services) [5.40 pm]: I start by acknowledging members of the opposition who have spoken to this motion; I do not have a list of names with me, but I know the member for Armadale made a contribution last Wednesday before this motion was adjourned. I say from the start that obviously the government does not support the motion brought to the house by the shadow Minister for Emergency Services, the member for Girrawheen, and I will outline the reasons why. Firstly let me say that the wording of the motion — The ACTING SPEAKER (Mr I.M. Britza): Members, if you want to have a conversation, I ask you to leave the chamber, please. Mr J.M. FRANCIS: Firstly let me say that obviously the government will not support this motion and I will outline the reasons why. I do not mean to be provocative by saying this, but I would suggest that the motion is fairly harshly worded and, I would go so far as to say, pretty offensive to both the Fire and Emergency Services Commissioner and the staff of the Department of Fire and Emergency Services, purely through the use of the words “misappropriating funds”.

  • Working Together for Western Australia to Reform Our Criminal Justice System a Word from the Ministers
    Working together for Western Australia to reform our criminal justice system A word from the Ministers The work of the Justice Planning and Reform Committee is fulfilling this Government’s commitment to bring fresh ideas and new resources to make our criminal justice system smarter, safer and fairer to benefit all Western Australians. John Quigley Attorney General; Minister for Commerce The drivers behind any movements in Western Australia’s prisoner population are complex. The Justice Planning and Reform Comittee’s evidence-based approach to medium and long-term planning is contributing to a comprehensive reform, rehabilitation and rebuilding of the prison system. Francis Logan Minister for Emergency Services; Corrective Services Community safety is always the first priority for this Government. A whole of system approach to reform is essential to ensure much-needed improvements to some parts of our criminal justice system do not unintentionally reduce safety in others. The work of the Justice Planning and Reform Committee is bringing this essential oversight.

MR J.R. QUIGLEY (Mindarie) [9.31 am]: Mr Speaker, I would like to make a speech concerning policing in Western Australia. At the outset, I preface my speech by saying that I have the utmost respect and admiration for the thousands of brave and conscientious police officers who police Western Australia, and who, by their devotion to duty, secure the streets so that they are safe enough for my wife and my children to walk about without the expectation of being assaulted or otherwise endangered. I thank all those officers who serve in the traffic branch and who stay up all night in difficult conditions, patrolling our streets to keep the streets safe enough for me to drive home with the expectation that I will not be killed by a hoon. I thank all of those officers serving in crime command who work so valiantly detecting crime by organised criminals and others, and who have achieved such remarkable results, especially in the interdiction of drug laboratories. They have made big inroads into the amphetamine trade in Western Australia. Finally, I thank, also, those officers of this state, including the undercover officers, who on a daily basis put themselves in danger by engaging with organised criminals and bikie gangs to bring evidence before the courts that will see these people prosecuted.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 25 June 2014] p4599b-4611a Mr Mark McGowan; Ms Margaret Quirk; Mr David Templeman; Mr Peter Watson; Mr Chris Tallentire SENIORS — COST-OF-LIVING INCREASES — CONCESSION FUNDING Motion MR M. McGOWAN (Rockingham — Leader of the Opposition) [4.31 pm]: I move — That the house condemns the state Liberal–National government and the federal Liberal government for making the lives of seniors and pensioners increasingly difficult through increased cost of living and the withdrawal of concessions. The way that both state and federal Liberal governments are treating seniors in our community has become a subject of great debate in Western Australia and Australia more generally in recent weeks. We have heard some unfortunate commentary by some government ministers who imply that seniors are somehow living it up, are on easy street and are being treated overgenerously by the government. We heard the Minister for Transport make some insensitive remarks. The Minister for Seniors and Volunteering made some fairly insensitive remarks about seniors in our community. This has upset seniors across Western Australia. Last Friday I attended a rally at Perth Town Hall, which was organised by 6PR and Channel Seven and the Council on the Ageing. This was a significant event; the many hundreds of people present at this rally last Friday are concerned about the attacks on their living standards by both state and federal governments. They raised a range of concerns about what is happening nationally and what is consequently happening at a state level that is impacting on their quality of life and their capacity to afford to live.
