  • 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.

  • Medefacts Volume 23 | Number 3 | September 2017
    Health and Medical Sciences MeDeFacts www.meddent.uwa.edu.au Volume 23 | Number 3 | September 2017 Please be upstanding – a toast to the Medical School on its 60th anniversary and to all its alumni. From its jubilant beginnings in 1957, when 15 students completed their first year of medicine, to last year’s total of 253 graduands, the Medical School has flourished. Over the 60 years it has witnessed enormous talent and produced exceptional alumni, including a Nobel Laureate, ACs, AOs, AMs, Australian of the Year, Rhodes Scholars, world-renowned researchers, clinicians, teachers and administrators. Above all, it prides itself on its doctors who not only care for their patients, but about them, and give unstintingly of their time for their welfare in all arenas. It is well known that the Medical School only exists because of the generosity of the West Australian public who dug deeply into their pockets from 1955 to raise funds to establish it. These included community organisations, industry groups, professional groups, individuals and many others. Rural communities entered into the spirit and many farmers pledged part of their wool cut or crop – and now, of course, the Medical School boasts an enviable Rural Clinical School with 14 country sites. In this edition, we celebrate our alumni and the impact they have had on future generations of doctors, the health of the community and the progress of medicine. And UWA Pro Vice-Chancellor and Faculty Executive Dean, Professor Wendy Erber, casts a line into the future to see what the next 60 years might bring forth.

  • Your Daughter??
    Your daughter?? Pimps would be legal under Mr Porter’s Prostitution Bill. They could approach teens in your family! Photo courtesy D Sharon Pruitt The Prostitution Bill was tabled in the WA Legislative Assembly on 3 November 2011 and could come to a vote soon. If the bill passes, pimps or madams could approach 18 year old girls like this one, offering them big dollars to work in a legal brothel. There would be nothing you could do to prevent it. The teens would discover – too late – that prostitution is a terrible trap few manage to escape. Your local state MP needs to know how you feel about this bill! Send him or her a brief email or phone their office ASAP (details overleaf). Be polite, and be sure to include your name and home address. Send a copy to Premier Colin Barnett and Attorney-General Christian Porter. Ask them to reject the Prostitution Bill. Briefly say why, including some points below (choose a couple) in your own words: In every Australian state that has legalised or decriminalised the sex trade there has been an upsurge in prostitution – in both legal and illegal brothels – and sex trafficking and slavery. It is “out of control” (The Age, 7/3/11; SMH, 13/10/11). Four Corners (ABC1, 10/10/11) showed scenes of pimping, sex trafficking and sex slavery in legal brothels in Victoria and NSW: http://www.abc.net.au/4corners/stories/2011/10/06/3333668.htm Research shows that most prostitutes suffer mental ill-health, including post traumatic stress disorders, because of their experiences.

  • 18-Phillips WA Election
    The 2008 Western Australian State Election: The Snap Poll Blunder * Harry Phillips ** Following the 6 September 2008 election in Western Australian, and a week of tense negotiations, the presence of ‘wall to wall’ Labor Governments across Australia was broken. In a significant moment in the evolution of the Western Australian Parliament an ‘alliance’ headed by Colin Barnett, the Liberal Party leader, formed government for the 38 th Parliament. Remarkably, Barnett had been reinstated to the party leadership a few days before the campaign ‘caretaker phase’. 1 The Liberal Party leadership had successively been in the hands of Matt Birney (to March 2006), Paul Omodie (to January 2008) and Troy Buswell, 2 each of whom had returned very poor poll readings. With the Liberal’s experiencing long term serious leadership problems, both the polls and pundits had been predicting a Labor return to office with Alan Carpenter to remain as Premier. However, Carpenter’s decision to call a snap election, the first since the passage of the ‘one vote one value’ legislation for the Legislative Assembly, nearly six months ahead of schedule broke a century of tradition in the State whereby governments served a full term. There were vital pieces of legislation lying on the table 3 and the scheduled regional sitting of the Legislative Assembly in the marginal seat of Bunbury in early * Thanks are due to Antony Green for the electoral aggregates, preference and swing calculations included in this article and to Judy Ballantyne, State Parliamentary Library Director in Western Australia for permission to use data included in the electoral analysis prepared by Antony Green for the Parliamentary Library 2009.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY - Thursday, 18 June 2009] p5240b-5251a Mr Rob Johnson; Mr Eric Ripper; Mr Roger Cook; Dr Kim Hames; Acting Speaker; Mr Brendon Grylls; Mr Peter Watson; Mr Vincent Catania MINISTER FOR INDIGENOUS AFFAIRS AND MINISTER FOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT — CENSURE Standing Orders Suspension — Motion On motion without notice by Mr R.F. Johnson (Leader of the House), resolved with an absolute majority — That so much of the standing orders be suspended as is necessary to enable a motion to be moved without notice forthwith by the member for Belmont and for that motion to be dealt with under the time limits applicable for a matter of public interest. Motion MR E.S. RIPPER (Belmont — Leader of the Opposition) [10.21 am]: I move — That this house censures the Ministers for Indigenous Affairs and Regional Development for abuse of power and for giving misleading explanations to the house about their actions. This motion firstly deals with the actions of the Minister for Indigenous Affairs. It relates to his securing of the appointment of Haydn Lowe to the Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee. The Minister for Indigenous Affairs knows that he has to act in accordance with the Aboriginal Heritage Act, which provides that the minister must choose the membership of that committee from a panel of recommendations—a panel of names put forward or recommended by the registrar of the Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee. The Minister for Indigenous Affairs broke the law. He appointed Haydn Lowe contrary to the provisions of the law. That is demonstrated by the documents tabled yesterday by the Deputy Leader of the Opposition.
