SMITH (Mitchell) [11.05 am]: I present the following petition - To: The Honourable the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Austraia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned people of Western Australia wish to express our objection to the Court Government's decision to increase the State Government Fuel Levy by four cents per litre from February 1,1995. This tax will place further burdens on families in this state. This tax is unnecessary and unfair considering: * recent increases in water charges, drivers licence charges and bus and train fares, * the Premier's statement in the 1994 Budget that he would not introduce any new taxes or increase taxes and, * the fact that the State Government has refused to spend $141.4 million, earmarked by the Grants Commission to fix our roads, over two years, Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that you will give this matter earnest consideration and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray. The petition bears 18 signatures and I certify that it conforms to the standing orders of the Legislative Assembly. The SPEAKER: I direct that the petition be brought to the Table of the House.

BILLS (6) - INTRODUCTION AND FIRST READING 1. Stamp Amendment Bill Bill introduced, on motion by Mr Court (Treasurer), and read a first time. 2. Skeleton Weed and Resistant Grain Insects (Eradication Funds) Amendment Bill Bill introduced, on motion by Mr Bradshaw (Parliamentary Secretary to the Cabinet), and read a first time. 3. Poisons Amendment Bill 4. Health Services (Conciliation and Review) Bill Bils introduced, on motions by Mr Kierath (Minister for Health), and read a first time. 5. Police Amendment Bill Bill introduced, on motion by Mr Wiese (Minister for Police), and read a first time. 6. Local Government Bill Bill introduced, on motion by Mr Omodei (Minister for Local Government), and read a first time. MOTION - STANDING ORDERS SUSPENSION Censure Motion Against Premnierfor Misleading the House MR McGINTY (Fremantle - Leader of the Opposition) [ 11. 15 am]: I move, without notice - That so much of the standing orders be suspended as is necessary to enable consideration forthwith of a motion of censure against the Premier. Question put and passed with an absolute majority. MR McGINTY (Fremantle - Leader of the Opposition) [11. 16 am]: I move - That the Premier be censured for misleading the House in question time when he [Wednesday, 30 August 19951 707409 denied that the Government had provided staff and funds to assist the principals' association in getting school principals to sign workplace agreements while his Minister for Education and Director-General of Education admitted that the staff and funds had been provided. A censure motion, particularly one directed against the Premier for misleading the House, is a very serious matter. This motion should be moved immediately upon that matter's being apparent to the House. That is the reason we have sought to suspend standing orders to deal with this matter expeditiously this morning. It is appropriate in these circumstances, if the mistake, misleading or lie, however one categorises it, was made as an oversight or inadvertently by the Premier, that he stand in this House at the first available opportunity and correct the record. Had the Premier sought to do that either late yesterday or first thing this morning when the House sat - if he had stood up and said that he had made a mistake yesterday, he was misinformed and got the facts wrong - then obviously we are all human and we can make mistakes and that would be the end of the matter. The Premier has not elected to take that honourable course of action and to set the record straight. Therefore, it is appropriate that this House this morning look at this is a very serious matter. The question of the accuracy of answers given in the House is a matter of considerable community debate at the moment. It is fundamental to our system of government that answers given by Ministers, and particularly the Premier, in this House be honest and accurate. It is simply not good enough to have what is a bare faced untruth allowed to go unchecked by this House. I believe it is important that we therefore now censure the Premier for what is blatant misleading of the House. I cannot think of a more blatant misleading of the House. When asked whether his Government had provided staff and funds to a particular organisation, the Premier answered with a blanket, unequivocal no.

    62015.001.001.0288 INSURANCE THEIVES We own an investment property in Karratha and are sick and tired of being ripped off by scheming insurance companies. There has to be an investigation into colluding insurance companies and how they are ripping off home owners in the Pilbara? Every year our premium escalates, in the past 5 years our premium has increased 10 fold even though the value of our property is less than a third of its value 5 years ago. Come policy renewal date I ring around for quotes and look online only to be told that these insurance companies have to increase their premiums because of the many natural disasters on the eastern seaboard, ie; the recent devastating cyclones and floods like earlier this year or the regular furphy, the cost of rebuilding in the Northwest. Someone needs to tell these thieves that the boom is over in the Pilbara and home owners there should no longer be bailing out insurance companies who obviously collude in order to ask these outrageous premiums. I decided to do a bit of research and get some facts together and approach the federal and local member for Karratha and see what sort of reply I would get. But the more I looked into what insurance companies pay out for natural disasters the more confused I became because the sums just don’t add up! Firstly I thought I would get a quote for a property online with exactly the same specifications as ours in Karratha but in Innisfail, Queensland. This was ground zero, where over the past few years’ cyclones have flattened most of this township.

Coral reefs have been heavily affected by elevated sea-surface temperature (SST) and coral bleaching since the late 1980s; however, until recently coastal reefs of north-western Australia have been relatively unaffected compared to Timor Sea and eastern Australian reefs. We compare SST time series with changes in coral cover spanning a period of up to 36 years to describe temporal and spatial variability in bleaching and associated coral mortality throughout the Pilbara– Ningaloo region.
