Although all care is taken, no warranty as to its accuracy or completeness is given. It is your responsibility to ensure by independent verification that all information is correct before placing any reliance on it. CAMERON Big news this morning, a Julian McGauran move in Western Australia. KENNEDY It’s an interesting story, isn’t it? CAMERON Isn’t it. KENNEDY My word, it’s the Max Trenorden, the former National Party leader, Member for Avon, been there 20 years, saying that he’s been approached by the Liberal Party, not once, but about five times… CAMERON Wow. KENNEDY …in recent…in recent months, to stand for the Liberal Party, turn his party on the Nationals…stand for the Liberal Party in Avon and he’s knocked it back… CAMERON – 2 – Right. KENNEDY …but I hear that Danielle Blain, the Liberal president, saying that’s not the case, but Judi Moylan, the Liberal Member for Pearce, says, yes she’s…. CAMERON Of course, because that’s her neck of the woods, as well, isn’t it? KENNEDY Yes, indeed, stretches through there. CAMERON Yep, yep. KENNEDY She said yes, she raised it with Max Trenorden a couple of months ago… CAMERON Right. KENNEDY …and, I mean, it’s just…with Julian McGauran the…the National Party senator… CAMERON …who jumped ship in Victoria. KENNEDY …at a very strategic time… CAMERON Yeah. KENNEDY …and cost the National Party one member in the Ministry…one member in the…that… and caused bad blood federally, you can just see what it’s going….what’s going to happen – 3 – locally… CAMERON Yeah. KENNEDY …if.. the blood hasn’t been all that good in recent times between Brendon Grylls and Matt Birney and I don’t think it’s going to get better. And by the way…. CAMERON A bit tetchy, is it? KENNEDY A bit tetchy. Talk about tit for tat, I…I was speaking with one National Party source who told me that during a recent visit to Kalgoorlie, the Nationals were sounding out candidates to run in Kalgoorlie at the next state election. Approached about five people, I think the figure was, and they said they’d all been approached by the Liberals to run in place of Matt Birney, when Matt Birney takes…when Matt Birney takes a city seat at the next election. So there’s a….that set the hares running, as well. CAMERON Oh yes, it’s getting pretty willing, obviously. KENNEDY. So Matt says…Matt says he’s in Kalgoorlie for the election, but according to the Nats, the groundwork has already been laid for him to move to the metropolitan area and take a metropolitan seat and with someone coming in behind him in Kalgoorlie. So just watch this spot. And by the way, that…that interview with Brendon Grylls, that we heard about, with Max…with Brendon Grylls, that will be on Stateline tonight. Rebecca Carmody will have that interview… CAMERON Oh, right. KENNEDY …and that’ll be a story running through…through the day to day. You can bet your boots on that. CAMERON – 4 – You can… certainly can. Now, the new Premier spoke at a luncheon yesterday. How was his speech received? KENNEDY About 450 people there, low key speech for a….went for about 35/40 minutes. Vast contrast to Geoff Gallop’s style. This was…Alan Carpenter, sort of discussing, rather than sort of sort of giving a speech. CAMERON Right. KENNEDY Sort of discussing issues that he went through. Says that….you know, he’s still enjoying the job. He’s astounded at the way it happened, that with Geoff…he expected Geoff Gallop to be there for, you know, up to ten years, who knows, but suddenly in the circumstances, that he’s found himself in the job. He said, last week’s meeting in COAG, he thoroughly enjoyed, everyone was very civil to each other and he enjoyed, you know, sort of raising those questions about Western Australia with the Prime Minister. But I think this is most interesting, I think his style, he was…and he said to the people at the lunch, look we’re all in this together, regarding Western Australia. CAMERON Yep. KENNEDY Western Australia’s going like a rocket, but we’re all in this together, to make sure that it keeps going and to make sure that we, sort of, all benefit from it. And he wasn’t just…he wasn’t just, sort of, the business sector, or the union sector, or the government sector, saying.. or the mining sector, or whatever. He said, look we’re all in this… CAMERON Yeah, conclusive… KENNEDY We’re all in this together, we’ve got to make it work and…I spoke to a few people afterwards and they said, he’s very good, he is very good, that was very impressive, you know… – 5 – CAMERON Yeah. KENNEDY He’s…he’s smarter than I thought. Now, not everyone would have thought that obviously. CAMERON Yeah. KENNEDY They were just a few of the people that I…that I talked…I mean, other people would have said, there should have been more substance in his speech and…and… CAMERON Yeah. KENNEDY …those sorts of things. But overall, Ian, I think the impression seemed to be quite…quite positive and…and augers well, of course, for Mr Carpenter. He said…he checked out who was the shortest term Premier in Western Australia’s history and he found out it was Hal Colebatch senior, who was Premier for about a month… CAMERON Right, yes. KENNEDY …and now he’s got three weeks and one day, so he’s counting the days. CAMERON Checking it out. KENNEDY But seemed to be a good start. CAMERON – 6 – It seems he hasn’t put a foot wrong so far, unlike some other people who maybe have some strange dining companions. KENNEDY You’ve got to be careful with the company you keep, Eoin, don’t you. CAMERON You sure do. KENNEDY …and this… CAMERON You lay down with dogs, you get fleas, Peter. KENNEDY Yes, yes, show me your friends and I will tell you who you are. CAMERON Yes. KENNEDY …that one before. Well two.. on both sides of politics here, both sides of politics. Wonderful photograph by Don Palmer, in The West Australian, earlier in the week of Norm Marlborough, the new Minister for Small Business, getting down to lunch, serious lunch, with Colonel Gadaffi of Libya, his son, visiting Perth, and Kim Chance was there too, the Agriculture Minister, at a lunch hosted by the Roberts family. John and Tim Roberts. Well, you could almost be in a time warp here, because John Roberts from Multiplex was a vice patron of the John Curtin Foundation, you know, back in the mid-80s, and very, very closely enmeshed with the Burke government of the day, that John Curtin Foundation, a brainchild of Brian Burke. So you think, 20 years, gone, and here were are back again… CAMERON Yep. We’ve been in the Tardis. KENNEDY …dining…dining…dining down at the Old Swan Brewery, overlooking the…overlooking the river. See, the point about that…they didn’t…the Ministers’ didn’t like Geoff Gallop’s 14 member – 7 – Cabinet, cause, perhaps one of the reasons was, they’ve now got a 17 member Cabinet, didn’t have time for this sort of thing… CAMERON Right, yes. KENNEDY …and Alan Carpenter, yesterday, was talking about discipline… CAMERON Yeah. KENNEDY …and I think he might be, sort of, reminding his Ministers about discipline and lunches and things like that and just get on with it. Get on, just do the job and I think, Norm Marlborough, the rookie Minister, he might have had a flea in his ear, again. CAMERON Well, he didn’t help. KENNEDY No, and then…and then, not only that but, of course, Matt Birney himself, having breakfast earlier in the week with Noel Crichton-Browne, in a West Perth establishment and this is after one of his colleagues has said, he’s used up his nine lives… CAMERON Right KENNEDY …already, so I…these things…sort of things don’t go down… I mean there’s nothing… CAMERON Wait for the dead cat bounce? KENNEDY Nothing wrong with speaking with Noel Crichton-Browne, nothing wrong with speaking with Brian Burke, but it might be wise just to pick your locations, because other people read things into them. – 8 – CAMERON I’m biting my tongue so hard, it’s bleeding. KENNEDY I know, I know, it’s painful…you should see the pained expression on Eoin’s face, here . You’re doing well, Eoin. CAMERON Now the pokies debate has been revisited. What’s going on there, Peter? KENNEDY Well, James Packer was in town with one of his lieutenants, Chris Anderson, and they did the rounds. James Packer, of course, his company now owns the Burswood Casino. CAMERON Yeah. KENNEDY They did the rounds and the rounds included a call on Alan Carpenter, in which the issue was raised, and as we said there was a $500million expansion that he would like to do, but it all depends on getting the pokies, because the pokies are more profitable… CAMERON Right. KENNEDY …than the machines they’ve got at the moment. Now, don’t….ask me the difference between poker machines and the gaming machines and it’s a very subtle difference.

    The Poll Bludger - Australian State and Federal Elections Page 1 of 2 THE POLL BLUDGER Western Australian Legislative Assembly Election 2008 Located 15 kilometres east of the city, the electorate of Midland extends from MIDLAND Guildford east through Midland itself to the newer suburbs of Stratton and Labor 9.7% Koongamia. The one-vote one-value redistribution has left it relatively unscathed: Upper house region: East Metropolitan Maida Vale and Gooseberry Hill in the south have been detached to Forrestfield and Federal divisions: Hasluck/Pearce Kalamunda respectively, with Kalamunda also gaining Darlington in the east. The initial redistribution proposal had Guildford going to Belmont, but this was revised along with a corresponding reduction in the size of the Darlington transfer. The changes have effected a 1.2 per cent increase in the Labor margin. Midland has been held by Labor's Michelle Roberts since its creation at the 1996 MICHELLE ROBERTS Labor (top) election. Roberts had entered parliament two years earlier at a by-election for the inner northern suburbs seat of Glendalough, held when Carmen Lawrence vacated TO BE ANNOUNCED the seat to enter federal politics. The Midland area had earlier been covered by the Liberal electorates of Swan and then Helena, both held for Labor by Gordon Hill. When Hill resigned mid-term in 1994, the Helena by-election was won for the Liberals by the narrowly unsuccessful candidate at the 1993 election, Rhonda Parker, who went on to successfully contest the new seat of Ballajura in 1996. Roberts meanwhile quickly made her way to the front bench, holding the police portfolio first in opposition and then as minister, and further acquired justice in June 2003.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY - Tuesday, 16 May 2006] p2689c-2690a Mr Tom Stephens; Mr Alan Carpenter INDIGENOUS STUDENTS - EDUCATION AND TRAINING INITIATIVES 261. Mr T.G. STEPHENS to the Premier: Will the Premier advise the house of the state government’s latest education and training initiatives for indigenous students? Mr A.J. CARPENTER replied: I thank the member for this question and for his interest in this particular element of government policy. As I advised the Parliament last Thursday in your absence, Mr Speaker, I attended on the previous Friday the Rob Riley memorial service, which marked 10 years since the tragic death of Rob Riley on 1 May 1996. It was a very moving ceremony at Government House. We saw the launching of a biography of Rob Riley by Quentin Beresford of Edith Cowan University. At the ceremony, I had the privilege of announcing the Rob Riley memorial scholarships. Each year, $5 000 will be awarded to Western Australia’s leading Aboriginal TEE student and leading year 12 vocational education and training student. The money will go towards education and training expenses. I thank Mr Speaker for his engagement and involvement in that initiative. I also thank the members for Kimberley and Victoria Park for the roles they have played in this. Rob Riley was a person who remains unparalleled in the recent history of the Nyoongah community in Western Australia. His death left a hole in the community that has never been filled. He was a very great leader. His decline into depression and his subsequent suicide was a massive tragedy.

BOARD (Murdoch) [3.20 pm]: I move - That this House calls on the Gallop Labor Government to change its city-centric approach and ensure the provision of essential services to regional areas such as Albany. This is probably the most important motion that the Parliament will deal with in Albany, because it goes to the very heart of this Government’s commitment to regional areas. We have had the show, we have seen the government jets fly in, we have had the lunches, we have seen the mountain of press releases, we have seen the journalists supported and a few colour photographs taken, and we have even got to meet the member for Albany, who has made a fantastic contribution to the Parliament, but, in reality, this is all about a Government’s commitment to regional areas. In this case, it is a commitment to Albany. The people of Albany and regional Western Australia should know that this Government has been the most city-centric Government ever in the history of this State. It is a Government that has systematically gone about taking money from regional and country areas to spend on its big projects in the city.

  • The John Curtin School of Medical Research
    The John Curtin School of Medical Research From the Director This year marks 60 years since the foundation of The John Curtin School of Medical Research (JCSMR) as part of The Australian National University (ANU) in 1948. JCSMR is the result of the vision of Australian Nobel Laureate Sir Howard Florey and war-time Prime Minister John Curtin. Florey foresaw a national medical research school where scientists would carry out superlative research in fundamental areas, and our staff and students continue to strive towards this goal. A major strength of our research programs lies in their strong cross-disciplinary interactions. We currently have strong programs in genomics and epigenomics, immunology, protein structure and function and cell signalling, virology and neuroscience. This research aims to understand and provide novel insights into diseases such as cancer, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, and conditions such as epilepsy and vision impairment, amongst others. Our research staff continue to perform at the highest level nationally and internationally. This report highlights some of our recent research findings that will have impact on human health. Many of our staff and students have received recognition for their contributions through prizes and awards. As an integral part of the ANU College of Medicine, Biology and Environment, we are committed to cross-disciplinary research that will provide solutions to health problems which beset our community, and we continue to pride ourselves on our commitment to the training and mentoring of the young medical researchers of the future.
