    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Wednesday, 22 August 2018] p5000c-5016a Hon Tjorn Sibma; Hon Sue Ellery; President; Hon James Chown; Hon Jacqui Boydell; Hon Dr Sally Talbot; Hon Michael Mischin LOCAL PROJECTS, LOCAL JOBS PROGRAM Motion Resumed from 15 August on the following motion moved by Hon Darren West — That this house congratulates the McGowan Labor government for its Local Projects, Local Jobs initiative and for the positive impact this will have on local communities. HON TJORN SIBMA (North Metropolitan) [1.10 pm]: I took the opportunity last night to remind myself of the quality of contributions made to debate on this motion. I might go over where I left off. Some very serious questions remain unanswered about the operation and administration of this pork-barrelling scheme. One of the stark facts for which we have not received adequate explanation is the reason that an election pledge, which began its life at a quantum of $22 million or $23 million, suddenly found itself growing to a level of $40 million when it was read in during the government’s first budget speech on 7 September last year. I remind members that the Local Projects, Local Jobs scheme was referred to in those budget papers as a grants scheme. Furthermore, media releases made by the Premier and other ministers referred to Local Projects, Local Jobs as a grants scheme. For some reason, that categorisation, that nomenclature, dropped off the face of the earth for some potentially very interesting reasons. I get back to the growth of the scheme. Why was it that almost another $20 million was found to bolster that scheme? Why the change? Where was the funding revenue found? At whose request did that scheme grow? I thought we finished last week on an interesting note about the $150 000 that Halidon Primary School benefited from to construct a new administration building, and good luck to it.

    PARLIAMENT OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA INAUGURAL SPEECH Hon Daniel James Caddy, MLC (Member for North Metropolitan) Legislative Council Address-in-Reply Tuesday, 25 May 2021 Reprinted from Hansard Legislative Council Tuesday, 25 May 2021 ____________ ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Motion Resumed from 13 May on the following motion moved by Hon Pierre Yang — That the following address be presented to His Excellency the Honourable Kim Beazley, Companion of the Order of Australia, Governor in and over the state of Western Australia and its dependencies in the Commonwealth of Australia — May it please Your Excellency: We, the members of the Legislative Council of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled, beg to express our loyalty to our most gracious sovereign and thank Your Excellency for the speech you have been pleased to deliver to Parliament. HON DAN CADDY (North Metropolitan) [5.03 pm]: It is important to me that the first words I utter in this place are to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which this place stands, the Whadjuk people of the proud Noongar nation. I pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging. This land is Whadjuk boodja—always was and always will be. I shared a flight to Canberra with the Governor nearly 15 years ago. We sat, just the two of us, at a table on the government jet. It was an incredible conversation. Then later that year, I was dropping something off at his office at Parliament House in Canberra and I asked him a simple question about his time in politics.

The theme addresses the need for Australians to plan ahead for their end-of-life care and discuss it with their loved ones and health professionals. Palliative Care Australia will highlight how palliative care can help people with a life-limiting illness to have a high quality of life, right to the end. The McGowan government has made a strong commitment to palliative care in Western Australia, with a $41 million investment for extra support and enhanced specialist and community-based care across the state, initially with a particular focus on rural and regional palliative care services. This package brings the total investment by the state government for palliative care services over the next four years to $206.2 million.

    Dear Mr McCusker, Please find attached Enhancing Democracy in Western Australia, my submission to the review of the Western Australian Legislative Council electoral system. I am happy for it to be made public. Yours sincerely, Chris Curtis Enhancing Democracy in Western Australia Chris Curtis May 2021 The manufactured hysteria that greeted Ricky Muir’s election to the Senate and that ultimately led to the Turnbull government’s rigging the Senate voting system to favour the Greens over the micro-parties is getting an encore performance with the election of Wilson Tucker in Western Australia, despite the unremarked-upon election in both jurisdictions of many more candidates of major parties from even lower primary votes and with the added twist that most members of the panel established to investigate the matter have already endorsed, even promoted, the hysteria (https://insidestory.org.au/an-affront-to-anyone-who- believes-in-democracy/). While it is clear from this fact that submissions in support of logic and democracy have already been ruled out of consideration, it is worthwhile putting them on the public record for future historians to refer to and so that more reasonable politicians can revisit the issue if the hysteria dies down.

  • Avon-Midland Country Zone of the WA Local Government Association
    Avon-Midland Country Zone of the WA Local Government Association MINUTES OF THE ZONE MEETING held at the Goomalling Sport & Recreation Centre, Cnr Quinlan & Hoddy St, Goomalling Friday 25 June 2021 commencing at 10:16 am 1 OPENING & WELCOME The Zone President and Chair of the meeting, Cr Ken Seymour, welcomed delegates and observers and introduced Mr Peter Bentley, CEO, Shire of Goomalling. Cr Bentley welcomed delegates to Goomalling and commented on – The Shire has been undertaking budget repair over the past 2-3 years and progress is being made. Funding received under the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program has made a difference. Wheatbelt Secondary Freight Network - The first section of work has been completed on the Calingiri-Goomalling Road. The clearing permit process for roadworks has cost the Shire around $300,000 plus to date. Principally for 3 ha on the Goomalling-Meckering Road. A clearing permit for 8-9 ha will be required for the next stage of work on the Calingiri-Goomalling Road and cost is a worry. The Shire has written to the Minister expressing concern with the costs and delays associated with obtaining clearing permits for road reserves. Anstey Park revitalisation - It is proposed to redeveloped Anstey Park in Goomalling’s main street. The work will involve the demolition of the old CWA rooms. The redevelopment will include some form of recognition of the CWA. There is a proposal for the Department of Water dam adjacent to the Goomalling CBH site to be lined. The dam is saline as its depth is too great.

  • [COUNCIL — Wednesday, 12 May 2021] P448b-455A Hon Robin Scott; Hon Robin Chapple Became a Key Player in My Team
    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Wednesday, 12 May 2021] p448b-455a Hon Robin Scott; Hon Robin Chapple became a key player in my team. Both these ladies went above and beyond their duties and never complained when I asked them to work late or to pop into the office when I needed help at the weekend. Thanks, girls. I will not forget the support you gave me and all the times you picked me up and dropped me off at the airport. Mr David Modolo, my electorate officer, travelled everywhere in the electorate with me—from Norseman to Kalumburu and everywhere in between. On some of our flights, we spent three or four hours in the air, with the worst inflight service you could imagine. We could only eat and drink what we brought along, but not once did he complain. Being newly married, he never kicked up when I asked him to bring a suitcase because we were going to the bush for a while. During the flights, we spent much of our time discussing the reasons for the trip. When we landed, I was always full bottle on the issues and where we stood on the issues. David was a great electorate officer for me. He had had a similar role in federal politics, and I was the one who gained from all his experience. He will always be a good friend. My family know that I was never put on this earth to be a good father or a papa or a brother or even a husband. My role was as a worker and provider.
