  • 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.

  • A Police Whistleblower in a Corrupt Political System
    A police whistleblower in a corrupt political system Frank Scott Both major political parties in West Australia espouse open and accountable government when they are in opposition, however once their side of politics is able to form Government, the only thing that changes is that they move to the opposite side of the Chamber and their roles are merely reversed. The opposition loves the whistleblower while the government of the day loathes them. It was therefore refreshing to see that in 2001 when the newly appointed Attorney General in the Labor government, Mr Jim McGinty, promised that his Government would introduce whistleblower protection legislation by the end of that year. He stated that his legislation would protect those whistleblowers who suffered victimization and would offer some provisions to allow them to seek compensation. How shallow those words were; here we are some sixteen years later and yet no such legislation has been introduced. Below I have written about the effects I suffered from trying to expose corrupt senior police officers and the trauma and victimization I suffered which led to the loss of my livelihood. Whilst my efforts to expose corrupt police officers made me totally unemployable, those senior officers who were subject of my allegations were promoted and in two cases were awarded with an Australian Police Medal. I describe my experiences in the following pages in the form of a letter to West Australian parliamentarian Rob Johnson.

Lance McMahon is a Research Associate at the John Curtin Institute of Public Policy, Curtin University. June 2014 1 MOVING BEYOND 100 YEARS: THE ‘WA APPROACH’ TO NATIONAL PARTY SURVIVAL Abstract Since its formation in 1913, the Western Australian branch of the National Party has faced many challenges to its survival. Electoral reform removing rural malapportionment in 2005 prompted changes in strategic direction, including abandoning coalition with the Liberal Party and creating a discrete image, branding and policy approach. Holding the balance of power after the 2008 election, the Party adopted a post-election bargaining strategy to secure Ministries and funding for its ‘Royalties for Regions’ policy. This ‘WA approach’ is distinctive from amalgamation and coalition arrangements embraced elsewhere in Australia.

  • Hen It Comes to Brian Burke, I Can't Get Past That Panama Hat. What Sort of Person Wears Headgear Like That to Face Corruption
    Essay Life of Brian by PAUL BARRY hen it comes to brian burke, i can’t get past that panama hat. what sort of person wears headgear like that to face corruption charges? surely only someone who has tickets on himself, who thinks he’s special and who wants to show he doesn’t care how the world judges him. But, of course, Western Australia’s most famous ex-premier does care, and deeply so. That’s why he broke down in tears when the latest criminal case against him was thrown out of court in Perth last month, and why he tried his best to convince me before the trial that he was not only innocent but the victim of a witch-hunt. Burke struck me, during those two off-the-record con- there’s never been any brown paper bags and there’s not one versations, as a rather pathetic figure, a man in denial.

This stunning another of his mates, the knockabout horse trainer and ex- court victory reveals, though, just why he has stuck so close talkback host Bob Maumill. “He doesn’t need to. He knows to friends and family. who to ring and what to say when he rings.” And ring people It’s no secret that Burke and his supporters are adamant Burke certainly did. In 2006, he made around 13,000 phone he’s never done anything wrong: not when, as premier, he calls (more than 40 per day), which were secretly recorded rorted his travel allowance to the tune of $17,000, for which and analysed by a team of 40 people at the CCC.

  • The Burke Labor Government
    THE BURKE LABOR GOVERNMENT Dr Geoffrey Gallop, Murdoch University Paper delivered at 1984 APSA Conference, 27-29 August, Melbourne University I would like to thank the many people who helped in the preparation of this paper. ·. INTRODUCTION Labor came to power in Western Australia in February 1983 on the 1 basis of 54.4 per cent of the two-party-preferred vote. This amounted toa swing of 6.5 per cent. The largest swings were recorded in the north west (10.8 per cent) and in the outer metropolitan region (7 per cent). Nine Assembly seats fell to Labor: three in the metropolitan zone, five in the agricultural, mining and pastoral zone and one in the north. The Liberals gained one seat at the expense of the National Country Party. This left Labor with a clear majority in the Legislative Assembly and only three seats with a two-party-preferred vote of below 53 per cent. The Liberal Party has four seats in such a position, including Subiaco whose member, Dr Tom Dadour, has resigned from the party and now sits as an independent. Dadour has indicated that he intends to contest the seat as an independent at the next election. The Liberal Party preserved its clear majority in the Legislative Council - and its belief in the legitimacy of the currently constituted second chamber. On the basis of 52 per cent of the two-party-preferred vote Labor won 7 out of the 17 provinces. The Liberals lost North Metropolitan to Labor but won Lower Central and Central from the National Country Party.

  • Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia
    Australian Journal of Politics and History: Volume 53, Number 4, 2007, pp. 614-667. Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia January to June 2007 JOHN WANNA The Australian National University and Griffith University Shadow Dancing Towards the 2007 Election The election year began with Prime Minister John Howard facing the new Opposition leader, Kevin Rudd. Two developments were immediately apparent: as a younger fresher face Rudd played up his novelty value and quickly won public support; whereas Howard did not know how to handle his new “conservative” adversary. Rudd adopted the tactic of constantly calling himself the “alternative prime minister” while making national announcements and issuing invitations for summits as if he were running the government. He promised to reform federal-state relations, to work collaboratively with the states on matters such as health care, to invest in an “education revolution”, provide universal access to early childhood education, and to fast-track high-speed broadbanding at a cost of $4.7 billion. Rudd also began to stalk and shadow the prime minister around the country — a PM “Doppelgänger” — appearing in the same cities or at the same venues often on the same day (even going to the Sydney cricket test match together). Should his office receive word of the prime minister’s intended movements or scheduled policy announcements, Rudd would often appear at the location first or make upstaging announcements to take the wind from the PM’s sails. Politics was a tactical game like chess and Rudd wanted to be seen taking the initiative. He claimed he thought “it will be fun to play with his [John Howard’s] mind for a while” (Weekend Australian Magazine, 10-11 February 2007).
