  • 2011-12 Budget Paper 1 Budget Speech
    Speech by Hon Christian Porter MLA Treasurer; Attorney General Thursday 19 May 2011 Mr Speaker, I move that this Bill be read a second time. INTRODUCTION Mr Speaker, the Liberal-National Government’s third budget is framed in the context of a growing Western Australian economy, but also in an environment that remains uncertain globally, and contends with uneven levels of economic activity domestically. Mr Speaker, this is a budget about fundamental choices. In preparing the 2011-12 State Budget, the Western Australian Government faced one immense structural challenge, and, in the face of that challenge, had to make a central and pivotal decision about the best approach now – for the future of our State’s economy. The problem is the rapid and massive decline in Western Australia’s share of GST grants. In short, Western Australia’s prime source of revenue for building the State’s future, our mining royalties, is being effectively transferred out of Western Australia by the Commonwealth through the Commonwealth Grants Commission (CGC), in an unprecedented way. The pivotal decision has been whether, in the face of a collapse in GST revenue over coming years, do we as a State Government wind-back our infrastructure investment program, or do we stay the course and continue to invest in the critical social and economic infrastructure that we require to prosper and continue growing. This budget will make real changes in people’s lives by transforming Western Australia through the delivery of major social infrastructure, and also by providing better services to benefit all Western Australians. Mr Speaker today I am proud to announce a $442million surplus in the 2011-12 State Budget.

  • Legislative Assembly
    Legislative Assembly Thursday, 27 May 2010 THE SPEAKER (Mr G.A. Woodhams) took the chair at 9.00 am, and read prayers. UNDERGROUND POWER PROGRAM Petition MR J.J.M. BOWLER (Kalgoorlie) [9.01 am]: On behalf of the member for Alfred Cove, I present the following petition — To the Honourable Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned residents of Western Australia, respectfully request that the Legislative Assembly increase the funds and resources allocated to the State Underground Power Program, originally introduced to provide underground power to established suburbs. There are approximately 340,000 homes within the Perth Metropolitan area still to be converted. At the rate of 3,000 — 4,000 homes converted per annum, conversion will not be completed for another 100 years. We ask that Ardross, Alfred Cove, Attadale North, Bicton, Booragoon, Melville and Palmyra, in the Alfred Cove Electorate be include in Round 5 of the Program because: • Power reliability will be enhanced; • Faults caused by storms, trees and wildlife will be reduced; • Community safety will be enhanced by reducing hazards caused by fallen power lines and ageing wooden electricity poles; • Amenity of suburbs will be improved when trees do not have to be pruned or removed to keep them clear of overhead wires; and • Residents will have to pay more for conversion in the future because of the increasing cost of materials and labour. The petition complies with the standards of the house and contains 36 signatures. [See petition 292.] PAPER TABLED A paper was tabled and ordered to lie upon the table of the house.

    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Wednesday, 11 May 2016] p2669c-2683a Hon Ken Travers; Hon James Chown; Hon Lynn MacLaren “PUBLIC TRANSPORT FOR PERTH IN 2031” Motion HON KEN TRAVERS (North Metropolitan) [1.36 pm]: I move — (1) That the Council note that — (a) the Liberal–National government released in July 2011 a “Draft for Consultation” of their plan “Public Transport for Perth in 2031”; (b) the draft plan proposed two transformational projects by 2020 — (i) the fast-tracking of the northern suburbs railway extension to Yanchep; and (ii) construction of a central northern corridor/Curtin/UWA light rail; (c) the draft plan identified that the following infrastructure was required in the next five to 10 years — (i) a new rail station at Karnup (near Paganoni Road); and (ii) upgrades to Canning Bridge and Stirling Stations; (d) the draft plan proposed a number of on-road bus rapid transit projects be built by 2020, commencing with a bus rapid transit system between Ellenbrook and Bassendean and across to Morley. (2) That the Council calls on the government to — (a) explain why it has taken two years to release the final version of this plan; (b) outline whether it is still committed to the projects and the timelines outlined in the draft plan; and (c) provide detailed reasons, including passenger modelling, for any changes it has made to priority projects or their timing. Interestingly, notice of this motion was given some three years ago to try to find out what had happened to the government’s public transport plan that had then been sitting around and not finalised for two years.
