  • [ASSEMBLY] a Good Job in His Current Role As Leader of the Opposition
    382 [ASSEMBLY] a good job in his current role as Leader of the Opposition. According to The West Australian I am one of 7 per cent of Western Australians who thinks that the member for Cottesloe is doing a good job. The Liberal party has 15 members in this place, so 7 per cent of that is about one member. Who is the one member on that side who thinks his or her leader is doing a good job? I think I know who it is, but I do not think it is the Deputy Leader of the Opposition. About two or three members opposite are prepared to put up their hand to support the Leader of the Opposition. I support the Leader of the Opposition. Let us look at what the Deputy Leader of the Opposition said about his leader. He said that he thought Julie will make a good opposition leader! Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! The Minister for Education got off the track a little. I presume the minister has finished that answer, so question time is now over. ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Motion Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. MR MARSHALL (Dawesville) [2.35 pm]: This is a very special occasion for me. It is the ninth speech I have made in the Address-in-Reply debate, but it is the first time from this side of the House. The position feels uncomfortable. It is like serving into the sun in a tennis match. Although one has the opportunity in a tennis match of getting the good end in the odd game, I know that I am stuck here for another three and a half years before I get the opportunity to get the sun out of my eyes.

  • Parliamentary Debates (HANSARD)
    Parliamentary Debates (HANSARD) FORTIETH PARLIAMENT FIRST SESSION 2020 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday, 12 November 2020 Legislative Assembly Thursday, 12 November 2020 THE SPEAKER (Mr P.B. Watson) took the chair at 9.00 am, acknowledged country and read prayers. HON JAMES (JIM) McMILLAN BROWN Condolence Motion MR M. McGOWAN (Rockingham — Premier) [9.02 am] — without notice: I move — That this house records its sincere regret at the death of Hon James McMillan Brown and tenders its deep sympathy to his family. I begin by paying my respects, and Parliament’s respects, to Jim’s family in the Speaker’s gallery today. I would like to name the people here: Bill and Jenny Brown, Timothy Brown, Rachel Brown, Kerry and John Fisher, Aaron Fisher, Peter Fisher, Amy Riley, Dawn Pianto, Chelsea Pianto, Vera Hughes, Rose Brown and Gaye McCulloch. I thank them all for coming along today to hear Jim’s condolence motion. I believe other family members will be present to hear Jim’s condolence motion in the Legislative Council. Throughout Jim’s 15 years of parliamentary service, he served in both chambers of the Western Australian Parliament. He was always willing to assist members and he worked hard on behalf of his rural and regional constituents. Jim was part of a proud tradition of farming Labor members of this Parliament. Jim was born on 5 April 1927 to William and Susan in Merredin in regional Western Australia. Merredin would be a town that remained an important place for Jim throughout his life and career. His parents owned the local coffee shop, then named the Coffee Palace and later Raphael’s.

Coincidentally, I joined AFL Tasmania as a Director at virtually the same time Andrew became Chief Executive and during my seven years as Chairman of AFL Tasmania our team has worked very closely with Andrew, Gillon McLachlan and other members of the AFL executive management team. The facts speak for themselves; Andrew Demetriou has been an outstanding national leader of our game and in my opinion he has also provided exceptional support and advice to Tasmanian football through AFL Tasmania. The first time I met with Andrew he was very clear about the fact that the AFL must prioritise its development activities in Queensland and New South Wales. The growth of the game in these two northern states will ultimately be to the benefit of a traditional football state such as Tasmania.
