1627 Tuesday, 2 May 1995 the SPEAKER 1627 Tuesday, 2 May 1995 THE SPEAKER (Mr Clarko) took the Chair at 2.00 pm, and read prayers. PETITIONS - HEALTH SERVICES, CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND CONCILIATION SYSTEM DR GALLOP (Victoria Park - Deputy Leader of the Opposition) [2.04 pm]: I present the following petition - To: The Honourable the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned petitioners call upon the State Government to legislate for an independent, accessible and structured complaints and conciliation system for consumers of health services as a matter of urgency. 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 27 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. A similar petition was presented by Dr Watson (25 signatures). [See petitions Nos 40 and 41.] PETITION - DOMESTIC VIOLENCE LEGISLATION DR WATSON (Kenwick) [2.05 pm]: I present the following petition - To: The Honourable the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. Between I in 5 and I in 3 women are subjected to domestic violence on anrgular, even daily basis. A Law Reform Commission study of homicide found that over 40 per cent of all murders occur in domestic situations, with women the most frequent victims. (In WA 18 women and children in the year to June 1993). WA currently has no effective domestic violence legislation. Restraining orders have failed to protect women and breaches are not appropriately punished. We, the undersigned people of Western Australia demand that: 1. Domestic violence be recognised in legislation, police and court procedures as criminal assault with appropriate penalties. 2. Responsibility for Domestic Violence be moved from the Dept. for Community Development to the Ministry of Justice and sufficient funding be allocated. 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 15 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. [See petition No 42.] PETITION - TRADING HOURS DEREGULATION, MOTOR VEHICLE DEALERS MS WARNOCK (Perth) [2.07 pm]: I present the following petition - 1628 [ASSEMBLY] To: The Honourable the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned employers, employees and family of motor vehicle dealers of Western Austiralia, object to the trading hour changes imposed on our industry by the Minister for Fair Trading, the Hon Peter Foss. The extension of trading hours added to the $50 car levy and the four cent fuel tax is having a detrimental effect on our lives and industry. We urge Premier Richard Court to intervene to stop this extra burden on car dealers, their employees and families. 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 72 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. [See petition No 43.] PETITION - HEALTH SERVICES, PRIVATISATION MR TAYLOR (Kalgoorlie) [2.08 pm]: I present the following petition - To: The Honourable the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned, request that in the interests of maintaining excellence and true accountability in health services for future generations of West Australians, that: 1. The Government recognise that dividing health services into core and non core activities is not in the best interest of patients; 2. The Government recognise the false economies experienced in other states and overseas of privatising health services; 3. The Government recognise the efficiencies and productivity improvements achieved by health workers over the last decade; 4. The Government act accordingly and cease its program of privatisation. 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 786 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. [See petition No 44.] PETITION - FIRE STATION, BURNS BEACH ROAD, JOONDALUP, RELOCATION MR W. SMITH (Wanneroo) [2.09 pm]: I present the following petition - To: The Honourable the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled.

This is to ensure that the public's concerns are taken into consideration: [Tuesday, 2 May 1995] 121629 1 Noise pollution to surrounding tourist attractions. 2 Danger to public and school children. 3 Environmental concerns. 4 The resuming of a private resident's land when other land is available. 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 194 signatures and I certify that it conforns to the standing orders of the Legislative Assembly. The SPEAKER: I direct that the petition be brought to the Table of the House. [See petition No 45.] PETITION - POLICE, BRENTWOOD STATION, ADDITIONAL RESOURCES MR BOARD (Jandakot) [2. 10 pm]: I present the following petition - To: The Honourable the Speaker and members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned residents of Leeming do call on the Minister for Police to recognise that our suburb is subject to high levels of theft, vandalism, acts of violence, street alcohol and drug abuse, to a level which cannot be tolerated by our community. We implore you to supply additional Police and resources to Brentwood Police Station to assist us in dealing with this problem. We know that the solutions are not easy, but we must have some immediate assistance, as the community has reached a point where we are afraid in our own homes. 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 5 417 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. [See petition No 46.] MINISTERIAL STATEMENT - MINISTER FOR HEALTH Pathology Services MR KIERATH (Riverton - Minister for Health) [2.12 pm]: Less than a year ago, the Government released its policy on pathology services outlining the following three aims for publicly-funded laboratories - To streamline management by combining the services at the Queen Elizabeth 1I Medical Centre. To ensure the community gets value for money by setting up these laboratories to "best practice" standards on a commercial basis. To ensure no reduction of services and no adverse effect on the laboratory's teaching, research, community service and public health work. Today I announce a major step forward in the provision of pathology services in Western Australia, through the implementation of these objectives and the creation of a new pathology service. The work carried out will cover a most comprehensive range of pathology services, and public and community health services such as food and water testing and forensic operations will continue. Research and teaching will remain a major responsibility of the new centre. The previous standard of work of the staff here has never been questioned; it has been outstanding. The area in need of improvement is management systems. The former complex and inefficient arrangements have been 1630 1630[ASSEMBLY] replaced with a solid structure for the future having a united aim and a clear mandate: The efficient and effective delivery of pathology services to the community. The Government is aware of the broad range of obligations imposed on the PathCentre and the many branch laboratories around the State, so we are including training programs to help any staff affected by the reforms and establishing better staff-management communications. The PathCentre branch laboratories will provide essential services to metropolitan non-teaching hospitals and to hospitals in many regional centres. These reforms are a prime example of how the general public can be provided with a better service for no extra cost, which is the aim of the Government's policy of better management producing real benefits to the people of this State. [Questions without notice taken.] STANDING ORDERS SUSPENSION - MT HENRY HOSPITAL, NURSING HOME CLOSURE On motion without notice by Dr Gallop (Deputy Leader of the Opposition), resolved with an absolute majority - That so much of the standing orders be suspended as is necessary to enable the member for Victoria Park to make a statement on the proposed closure of Mt Henry nursing home. DR GALLOP (Victoria Park - Deputy Leader of the Opposition) [2.47 pm]: I thank the Leader of the House and his members for granting me the opportunity to speak on this very serious matter of government in this State. I will introduce my point by making a brief reference to the history of this issue. Late in 1993 it was announced that the nursing homes beds at Mt Henry Hospital would be privatised.

  • January February 2020
    History West, January/February 2020 January - February 2020 GENERAL MEETING The next meeting at Stirling House is on Wednesday 19 February at 6pm when Bill Bunbury will present a paper on ‘Tone can tell you more’ - An argument for oral history. Refreshments available from 5.30pm; Bookshop open until 6pm. While oral history is only one dimension of history, it can bring out perspectives not present on the printed page and the way it is captured can also illustrate the value of personal and intimate contact; a dimension not always accessible from the perusal of documents. Perhaps its closest relation is the handwritten letter, which often reveals personal feeling and attitude towards issues and circumstances. Oral history has its critics. Some historians have argued that oral history is subjective, perhaps forgetting that all history is always contested. That is inevitable, given that oral accounts frequently offer personal experience of episodes like the Great Depression of the 1930s or the Aboriginal experience of the effect of Whitefella legislation. But these testimonies are invaluable if we are examining both cause and effect. Oral history, when heard, can also be visual in its effect. The listener brings her or his imagination to the experience described. Location can also play a role here. An interview recorded on a relevant site can evoke vivid memories. They can also capture early observations of issues like climate change. And, if the tone tells all, it is worth remembering that transcripts of spoken word will not always carry the emotional content of spoken expression – irony, sarcasm, etc. Better heard than read? Bill Bunbury is an ABC broadcaster/ documentary producer with 40 years’ experience in both radio and television who has received five international and national awards for his work.

Roger Louis Based on archival work in England, Scotland, the United States, Canada and Australia, my dissertation expands the traditional purview of diplomatic history into the international dimensions of the social and cultural realms. My study treats doomed attempts to reconstruct previously-held notions of hierarchy and deference as encapsulated in the Empire Settlement Act (ESA) in the wake of the dramatic changes to the world order resulting from World War I. To counter the emergence of Japan as a world power, under the auspices of the ESA, British Columbia and Western Australia, the two most distant outposts of the “white” British Empire in the Pacific, imported poor Celtic farmers and militiamen from northern Scotland in an attempt to retain their iv “British” identity, which they felt was threatened by Japan on the one hand, the Japanese in their midst on another, and local “nationalisms” on a third.

  • Register of Heritage Places - Assessment Documentation
    REGISTER OF HERITAGE PLACES - ASSESSMENT DOCUMENTATION HERITAGE COUNCIL OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA 11. ASSESSMENT OF CULTURAL HERITAGE SIGNIFICANCE The criteria adopted by the Heritage Council in November, 1996 have been used to determine the cultural heritage significance of the place. 11. 1 AESTHETIC VALUE* Office of the Department of Agriculture is a simple elegant building designed in the Inter-War Free Classical Style. The balanced proportions of the front façade sit well with the tiled hipped roof which is presented to Queen Street. The building has an air of solidity and permanence which was, no doubt, the impression that the Agricultural Bank wished to convey to its customers. (Criterion 1.1) Office of the Department of Agriculture is located on the north west corner of Queen Street and Marine Terrace and together with the Old Goal and Court House, plays a major role in visually terminating the commercial precinct of Busselton from the marine recreational environment. Due to its size and elevation, the building sits prominently on its corner location and compliments the earlier judicial complex on the eastern corner. (Criterion 1.3) 11. 2. HISTORIC VALUE Office of the Department of Agriculture is associated with the development of the Agricultural Bank of Western Australia, particularly during the period when the Bank commenced its programme of decentralisation. The Agricultural Bank was extremely important to the agricultural development of Western Australia as it was responsible for expanding the State's agricultural base. (Criterion 2.2) The establishment of a branch office in Busselton of the Agricultural Bank emphasises the role that Busselton played during the 1930s as a service centre for the Group Settlement Scheme.

  • MR OMODEI (Warren) [7.17 Pm]: I Join with My Fellow Members in Congratulating You, Mr Speaker, on Your Election to the Position of Speaker of This House
    [4 April 1989.] MR OMODEI (Warren) [7.17 pm]: I join with my fellow members in congratulating you, Mr Speaker, on your election to the position of Speaker of this House. I also congratulate the newly elected members. At this time, in my first speech to this House, I am more conscious than ever before of the responsibility which has been placed on me by the electors of Warren to represent them in the best possible way. My family played a great part in my election to this Parliament. It is a far cry from a small town called Tirano in the mountains of Northern Italy, to Gwalia in the goldfields of Western Australia, to a condemned group settlement block in karri country in the Pemberton district, to these hallowed halls of the Parliament of Western Australia. The family farm at Eastbrook has now been farmed for more than 60 years and compares well with some of the best farmland in this State. I am very proud of the contribution which my family has made to the district in which it lives. It is from this ethnic and farming background that I come to this place to further my contribution to the community in which I live and to represent the Warren electorate. It would be remiss of me not to mention my campaign committee which worked so diligently to change the political representation in the new seat of Warren. There are too many names to mention. Many people spent their time doorknocking, canvassing and making sure that a Liberal represented the seat of Warren after 50 years of Labor representation.

  • Northcliffe Pioneer Museum
    NORTHCLIFFE PIONEER MUSEUM. By Carole Perry and the Northcliffe Pioneer Museum http://www.northcliffe.org.au/museum_tour/pioneer_museum.html All photos courtesy of the Northcliffe Museum Photo Collection In addition, a 15-minute CD can be purchased illustrating the 1950s flourishing timber industry. Our website refers to the group Settlement Scheme and has recommendations for many reference books. THIS IS THE STORY OF THE TINY TOWN OF NORTHCLIFFE DURING ITS LIFESPAN OF 100 YEARS. When WWI came to an end in 1918 Britain was in economic strife, the nation was experiencing huge unemployment and the population found life difficult. Minister Winston Churchill was horrified when, in one weekend, 10,000 people sailed to America to seek a better life. “These families should be populating the British Empire. We must encourage them to go to Canada, South Africa or the south west of Western Australia”. The south west had troubles of its own. All its dairy products were coming from the eastern states at great expense. So, the Minister for Agriculture, James Mitchell, suggested a migrant scheme which would persuade young families in England, Scotland and Wales to come to the south west of Western Australia and begin the dairy farms so desperately needed. This was called the Group Settlement Scheme. Establishment of the new town of Northcliffe began in 1923. Within four years it was threatened with closure, but the town exists to this day. What happened? . Across the south west are some of the finest ancient forests in Australia. The karri tree, for example, grows 90 metres tall and is one of the three tallest trees growing anywhere on the planet.

  • Archaeological Investigations in the Northcliffe District, Western Australia
    Rec. West. Aust. Mus., 1976,4(3) ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN THE NORTHCLIFFE DISTRICT, WESTERN AUSTRALIA C.E. DORTCH* and G.GARDNERt [Received 13 July 1976. Accepted 20 July 1976. PubUshed 16 October 1976.] ABSTRACT Traditional Aboriginal land use and subsistence in the Northcliffe district, Western Australia was probably similar to that recorded in other south western coastal districts during the 19th century. Examination of prehistoric Aboriginal campsites in the vicinity of Northcliffe and on the coastal plain reveals that Aboriginal stone workers used local chert, silcrete, quartz, and other stone. They quarried silcrete extensively at an outcrop near Northcliffe from before 6780 years BP until at least 3000 years BP. Area stone artifact assemblages contain diverse retouched tools made on flakes and blades, notably geometric microliths. A wooden fish trap on a freshwater creek near Point d'Entrecasteaux suggests that traditional freshwater fishing methods were highly developed. Marine mollusc shells at archaeological sites in coastal dunes around Malimup are tentatively interpreted as food remains. The scarcity of biotic material in known archaeological deposits at present prevents definitive assessment of prehistoric Aboriginal subsistence and land use. INTRODUCTION For the past few years Mr A. Jackson and ourselves have recorded archaeological sites in the area around the town of Northcliffe, W.A. and on the coastal plain between Northcliffe and Point d'Entrecasteaux 25 km to the south (Maps 1, 2). In this account we describe some of these sites and *Archaeology Department, W.A. Museum, Francis Street, Perth, W.A. 6000. tNorthcliffe, W.A. 6262. 257 o 100 ! ! km N 6 see.
