June 2014 1 MOVING BEYOND 100 YEARS: THE ‘WA APPROACH’ TO NATIONAL PARTY SURVIVAL Abstract Since its formation in 1913, the Western Australian branch of the National Party has faced many challenges to its survival. Electoral reform removing rural malapportionment in 2005 prompted changes in strategic direction, including abandoning coalition with the Liberal Party and creating a discrete image, branding and policy approach. Holding the balance of power after the 2008 election, the Party adopted a post-election bargaining strategy to secure Ministries and funding for its ‘Royalties for Regions’ policy. This ‘WA approach’ is distinctive from amalgamation and coalition arrangements embraced elsewhere in Australia.

  • Economics Royalties for Regions
    ECONOMICS ROYALTIES FOR REGIONS: ACCOUNTABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY by Michael McLure Business School The University of Western Australia DISCUSSION PAPER 09.05 Royalties for Regions: accountability and sustainability Michael McLure*1 The University of Western Australia To determine whether the Western Australian (WA) Government’s ‘royalties for regions’ policy will enhance economic welfare it is necessary to: know the net fiscal transfer that the community wants the State Government to provide between Perth and regional WA; and determine whether the royalties for regions policy brings the Government closer to, or further away from, that goal. In recognition of this, it is recommended that the State’s public accounts be complemented by a new budget paper that reports on public finances for ‘Perth’ and the ‘Regions’ separately, which will improve government accountability, and classifies mineral royalties as ‘capital’ revenues, which will enhance sustainability provided these capital revenues are hypothecated for expenditure on capital projects. In the lead up to the Western Australian (WA) election held on Saturday, 6 September 2008, the State’s National Party, under the leadership of Brendon Grylls, campaigned as an independent political party. The National Party’s election platform centred on its ‘royalties for regions’ proposal under which 25 percent of the State’s royalties would be paid into a special fund each year and hypothecated for expenditure on regional investment. One outcome of the election was that the National Party acquired the balance of power in the WA’s Legislative Assembly. After negotiations with both major political parties, the National Party entered into a power sharing arrangement with the Liberal Party, which facilitated the appointment of the Liberal’s Colin Barnett as the Premier of WA.

TODAY IS AN EXCITING DAY FOR PEOPLE LIVING AND WORKING IN REGIONAL WESTERN AUSTRALIA. NOT ONLY WITH THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF ROYALTIES FOR REGIONS BUT ALSO THE REASON THE PREMIER COLIN BARNETT IS NOT WITH US TODAY BUT WITH THE PRIME MINISTER OF AUSTRALIA IN KUNUNURRA LOOKING AT ANOTHER OF OUR INITIATIVES IN THAT OF THE ORD RIVER PROJECT. IT REALLY IS A GREAT DAY FOR REGIONAL WESTERN AUSTRALIA WITH THE LAUNCH OF ROYALTIES FOR REGIONS, THE STATE GOVERNMENT EMBARKS ON A NEW DIRECTION FOR THE REGIONS WHICH RECOGNISES THE IMPORTANCE OF REGIONAL COMMUNITIES TO OUR STATE AS A WHOLE. IT IS A RECOGITION THAT NO MATTER WHERE YOU CHOOSE TO WORK AND LIVE IN OUR GREAT STATE, THAT YOU ARE ENTITLED TO ADEQUATE SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTURE. TODAY MARKS A NEW DIRECTION IN STATE GOVERNMENT POLICY - A DIRECTION WHICH INCLUDES THOSE WHO LIVE BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF OUR CAPITAL CITY. UNDER ROYALTIES FOR REGIONS, PEOPLE LIVING IN RURAL, REGIONAL AND REMOTE LOCATIONS CAN BE ASSURED THAT THEY ARE VERY MUCH A PART OF THE PRIORITIES OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT.
