  • Mr Mick Murray
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 17 November 2020] p7977b-7987a Hon Fran Logan; Dr Mike Nahan; Mr Mick Murray VALEDICTORY SPEECHES Member for Cockburn MR F.M. LOGAN (Cockburn — Minister for Emergency Services) [4.31 pm]: I rise to make probably my last contribution to the Western Australian Legislative Assembly after nearly 20 years as the member for Cockburn. Come 13 March 2021, I will reach the milestone of 20 years as a member of Parliament. On that day, I truly hope to see the re-election of an even larger McGowan Labor government. I, instead, will return to normal public life after my parliamentary service that included four years as a parliamentary secretary, nearly eight years as a minister under three Labor Premiers and just over eight years as a shadow minister. Along with membership of various parliamentary committees, I have made 2 549 spoken contributions to this house. I have been warned by Speakers probably over 100 times, and despite my strenuous efforts and obnoxious behaviour, I have never been thrown out! For this anomaly, I must thank the numerous Speakers over the years for their tolerance and good work. Not many MPs ever get a chance to deliver a valedictory speech, due to the turbulent and cyclical nature of modern politics, so I am very, very grateful to be standing here today delivering mine. My gratitude is sincere, heartfelt and genuine to those institutions and people who have allowed me to be their representative in this Parliament for so long. Firstly and most importantly, I thank WA Labor, the party that I have been a member of for over 30 years.

PUBLIC SECTOR APPOINTMENTS Statement by Minister for Public Sector Management MR M. McGOWAN (Rockingham — Minister for Public Sector Management) [9.03 am]: I rise today to inform the house of new leadership in a number of government departments in the Western Australian public sector. With the impending retirement of a number of directors general, the Public Sector Commissioner has taken the opportunity to renew leadership across the public sector. This renewal will ensure that government has the leadership in place to continue our world-leading response to the pandemic, help drive prosperity for our state and concentrate on service delivery. Some appointments will be on an acting basis to enable the Public Sector Commissioner, as the employer of the director general group, to undertake recruitment processes when they are required. The Public Sector Commissioner will place the departing directors general on “other functions” through her powers under the Public Sector Management Act. To ensure that we make the most of their skills and experience, each will undertake strategic projects in their ministers’ portfolios.

  • [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 5 May 2021] P215b-245A Mr Roger Cook; Mr Simon Millman; Mr Shane Love; Deputy Speaker; Ms C.M
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 5 May 2021] p215b-245a Mr Roger Cook; Mr Simon Millman; Mr Shane Love; Deputy Speaker; Ms C.M. Tonkin; Mr G. Baker; Ms M.J. Hammat; Mrs Jessica Stojkovski; Mr D.A.E. Scaife; Mr H.T. Jones; Mrs Robyn Clarke; Ms Sabine Winton ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Amendment to Motion Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. MR R.H. COOK (Kwinana — Minister for Health) [2.55 pm]: Prior to question time, we were talking about ambulances, and it would be important to note that Western Australia has the best ambulance response times in Australia. Although there are issues with transfer-of-care times at the moment, as a result of the pressures on our emergency departments, our patients get collected up quicker than anyone else. I might add that they are admitted to the hospital immediately if they are a category 1 or a critical or trauma patient. Ambulance ramping has a regrettable impact on our system, but our EDs continue to perform the best in the country with the fastest ambulance response times. This is an important point for people to note: they do an extraordinary job. I focus more on transfer of care because that is the statistic that is held with and recorded by the Department of Health and so it sits on the Department of Health website. I note that ramping is 30 per cent lower than what it was last month and that is pleasing. Obviously, we need to continue to see that trend go down, and we will continue to monitor the transfer-of-care times to make sure that we see improvements on that.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Thursday, 19 August 2021] p3133b-3147a Mr Vincent Catania; Mr David Scaife; Mr Geoff Baker; Ms Jodie Hanns; Mr Hugh Jones; Mr Paul Lilburne; Ms Sabine Winton; Mr Yaz Mubarakai; Mr David Templeman TICKET SCALPING BILL 2021 Second Reading Resumed from 24 June. MR V.A. CATANIA (North West Central) [10.05 am]: I rise on behalf of the opposition as shadow Minister for Commerce with carriage of the Ticket Scalping Bill 2021. I think a previous version of the bill was introduced in the last Parliament but never proceeded through both houses; in fact, it went to a committee of the other place and some quite good key recommendations were made. It is my understanding that the Minister for Commerce has adopted quite a few of those recommendations; I will ask about the recommendations that have not been adopted. I believe the Leader of the House has carriage of the bill because, unfortunately, the Minister for Commerce is away from the house. I will go easy on the Leader of the House! Mr D.A. Templeman: That’s unusual! Mr V.A. CATANIA: It is unusual, but he has to have some time! Mr D.A. Templeman: She’s unwell. Mr V.A. CATANIA: Fair enough; the Minister for Commerce is unwell. Politicians are not immune from getting sick; perhaps more politicians should keep away from this place and stay at home, because they often get sick. The opposition supports the Ticket Scalping Bill 2021. Over time, people have made several complaints about ticket scalpers selling tickets well and truly in excess of their value.
