COUNCIL - Thursday, 26 May 2005]
2356 [COUNCIL - Thursday, 26 May 2005] ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Motion Resumed from 25 May. THE PRESIDENT: Before I give the call to Hon Donna Taylor, I wish to point out two matters. Firstly, this is the honourable member’s inaugural speech; therefore, in accordance with our customs, members will not interject. Secondly, I draw to the attention of the house the fact that in the public gallery is Hon Chris Ellison, who is not only a senator for Western Australia but also a minister in the federal government. HON DONNA TAYLOR (East Metropolitan) [12.14 pm]: I convey my congratulations to Hon Nick Griffiths on his election as President and Hon George Cash on his re-election as Chairman of Committees. I stand today in this house as one of two new Liberal members for the East Metropolitan Region. I am deeply conscious of the honour and privilege that has been granted to me by members of this community. I acknowledge my direct predecessor, Hon Derrick Tomlinson, who, with great distinction, served this Parliament and the Western Australian community since 1989. His eloquence, good humour and commitment to the East Metropolitan Region will certainly be missed and I place on record my personal thanks for his support and encouragement of me. The East Metropolitan Region is as vast as it is unique. It is the largest of the three metropolitan regions and comprises the two largest metropolitan Legislative Assembly districts of Serpentine-Jarrahdale and Swan Hills. I pause to congratulate the member for Serpentine-Jarrahdale on his recent election. The East Metropolitan Region encompasses, among many others, the towns of Bullsbrook, Gidgegannup, Chidlow, Bassendean and Midland; the Cities of Armadale, Gosnells, Belmont and Swan; the Shires of Kalamunda and Mundaring; and the historic towns of Guildford and Jarrahdale. -
