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.

Juila Gillard, 45, Says the Problem for Women in Politics Is That There Is Not a Set Image of What a Woman Leader Should Look Like
Juila Gillard, 45, says the problem for women in politics is that there is not a set image of what a woman leader should look like.

Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 17 February 2016] p336a-352a Mr Mark McGowan; Mr Ben Wyatt; Mr Sean L'Estrange; Ms Rita Saffioti; Mr Frank Alban; Mr Bill Johnston PREMIER’S STATEMENT Consideration Resumed from 16 February on the following question — That the Premier’s Statement be noted. MR M. McGOWAN (Rockingham — Leader of the Opposition) [12.20 pm]: I rise to speak on the Premier’s Statement. The year 2016 marks the final year before the state election. It is a crucial year for Western Australia. Western Australia is at the crossroads. Our state needs change; it needs a change of direction and Western Australians know it. Western Australia is crying out for a change from the management that this government has provided this state. Our state needs a new government. It needs new ideas and it needs a new direction. We need to get rid of our tired, old government—a government that has created an enormous mess in Western Australia. We need a competent, responsible and honest government in Western Australia. We need a government with a vision for the future—the long-term future of Western Australia—and a team that is prepared to hang in there for the long haul. WA Labor has a team that is ready to govern. I love this state. It has provided me with opportunities beyond my wildest imaginings. I may have come from somewhere else, but I have lived the majority of my life in Western Australia. This is a state of resilient, decent and hardworking people with good values of honesty, compassion and decency.

Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 18 October 2011] p8186c-8206a Mr Mark McGowan; Mr Bill Johnston; Mr Ben Wyatt; Mr Chris Tallentire; Ms Janine Freeman; Mr Bill Marmion PETROLEUM AND GEOTHERMAL ENERGY SAFETY LEVIES BILL 2011 PETROLEUM AND GEOTHERMAL ENERGY SAFETY LEVIES AMENDMENT BILL 2011 Cognate Debate Leave granted for the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Bill 2011 and the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Amendment Bill 2011 to be considered cognately, and for the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Bill 2011 to be the principal bill. Second Reading — Cognate Debate Resumed from 21 September. MR M. McGOWAN (Rockingham) [4.20 pm]: I rise as the lead speaker for the opposition on the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Bill 2011 and the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Amendment Bill 2011. I note at the outset that the Minister for Environment is handling these bills. Considering that the Premier is the Minister for State Development, I would have thought that it would be more appropriate for him to handle these pieces of legislation for the petroleum and geothermal energy industries. Given his role in this state and his position, I would have thought he would come into the chamber and handle this legislation. I thought that the Premier might have been slightly more knowledgeable than the Minister for Environment on the subject. Be that as it may, we will deal with the “B Team” when it comes to this — Mr B.S. Wyatt: “B”? About “Z”! Mr M. McGOWAN: When it comes to this legislation, we will deal with the “B Team” in the person of the Minister for Environment.

Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 12 August 2020] p4793c-4801a Mrs Liza Harvey; Ms Mia Davies; Mr Bill Marmion; Mr Peter Katsambanis IRON ORE PROCESSING (MINERALOGY PTY. LTD.) AGREEMENT AMENDMENT BILL 2020 Second Reading Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. MRS L.M. HARVEY (Scarborough — Leader of the Opposition) [2.56 pm]: I rise to continue my remarks about this amending legislation. I put on the record once again that the position of the Liberal Party room was a consensus position to not oppose this legislation. I would like to get on the record that we do not support the actions of Clive Palmer, which is why we are not opposing this legislation. During question time, I asked the Premier whether he would support a short sharp committee inquiry. It is ridiculous to say that the suggestion of a committee inquiry or that contentious legislation go to a committee to potentially strengthen it is in any way, shape or form showing that the legislation is not supported. That is ridiculous. The amending legislation in front of us is backdated to have effect from 11 August. It was read in just after 5.00 pm yesterday so that Mr Palmer and his lawyers could not get wind of it and could not lodge a writ in court. It needed to be read in yesterday after that opportunity had lapsed. The legislation is backdated to be effective from yesterday, 11 August 2020, at around about 5.00 pm. Should the upper house choose to send it to a committee to potentially strengthen it and ward off a potential High Court challenge, it could be done and dusted by 15 September.

Your ref MWM – 00083 - 2021 Our ref A19214723 WS0012/2021 Enquiries Lorraine Field 6251 2302 Mr Phone Kyaw Chief Executive Officer Mining Watch Myanmar Inc. Email: [email protected] Enter Locality State Postcode Dear Mr Kyaw MINING WATCH MYANMAR INC – SEEKING WORK EXPERIENCE Thank you for your correspondence of 4 March 2021 to the Hon Bill Johnston MLA, seeking work experience opportunities in Western Australia for geologists, geo-tech engineers, surveyors and mining engineers from Myanmar. As the Western Australian Government is still in the process of confirming a new Cabinet after the recent State Election, Minister Johnston asked me to reply directly to you, in my capacity as the Deputy Director General Safety Regulation at the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. I am advised that on 8 July 2020 you wrote to Minister Johnston; the Hon Peter Tinley AM MLA, Minister for Asian Engagement; and the Hon Roger Cook MLA, Deputy Premier of Western Australia, seeking assistance in relation to training miners and directors of the Myanmar government about mining safety, occupational safety and health and environmental management. Minister Johnston replied to this request on 26 August 2020, advising of the sanctions imposed by the Australian Government including “restrictions on the provision of certain services”, and recommending that you contact the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), through the Embassy of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar (Embassy of Myanmar), both based in Canberra. I note that in your 4 March 2021 correspondence, you propose a work experience arrangement for professionals who will then work as volunteers at Mining Watch Myanmar Inc., to address mining industry issues in Myanmar.
