Legislative Assembly Legislative Assembly Tuesday, 12 October 2010 THE SPEAKER (Mr G.A. Woodhams) took the chair at 2.00 pm, and read prayers. MEMBER FOR ARMADALE Swearing-in The Clerk of the Assembly produced the writ for the electoral district of Armadale and announced that Dr Antonio de Paulo Buti had been duly elected. The Speaker announced that he was prepared to swear in the member for Armadale. Dr Buti made and subscribed the oath of office according to law, and signed the roll. THE SPEAKER (Mr G.A. Woodhams): On behalf of the house, I congratulate the member for Armadale on his election and welcome him to this chamber. [Applause.] WA NURSING AND MIDWIFERY EXCELLENCE AWARDS Statement by Minister for Health DR K.D. HAMES (Dawesville — Minister for Health) [2.05 pm]: Last Saturday evening I had the pleasure to attend the 2010 WA Nursing and Midwifery Excellence Awards at the Burswood Entertainment Complex. The WA Nursing and Midwifery Excellence Awards is an annual event to acknowledge the contribution of nurses and midwives to the community. It is the highlight event of the year for approximately 34 000 nurses and midwives in WA. More than 200 nominations were received from all over the state. Nominations were made by colleagues of nurses and midwives as well as by health consumers. The judging panel would have faced a very difficult task considering the high-quality nominees. Sadie Geraghty, a talented midwife with a passion for the care of mothers and their babies, was awarded the 2010 Nurse or Midwife of the Year. Sadie works for the Women and Newborn Drug and Alcohol Service team at King Edward Memorial Hospital, Subiaco, where she is responsible for coordinating the team, and their training and education programs. Sadie has been integral in providing care for women who misuse illicit substances and has been at the forefront of initiatives such as outreach centres, SMS reminders of appointments to women, educational pamphlets and the initiation of an additional clinic. The chair of the judging panel, Catherine Stoddart, said that Sadie exemplifies everything that is great about WA nursing and midwifery. As a medical practitioner, I know that WA’s nurses and midwives are among the best in the world. I know that working in health care can be rewarding but also very challenging, which is why one of the government’s key election commitments was to establish a $28 million hospital nurses support fund, a four-year initiative to focus on improved facilities and the working environment of nurses and midwives. The awards night was an opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the valuable contribution our nurses and midwives make to the health of all Western Australians. I would like to congratulate all finalists and winners of the 2010 Nursing and Midwifery Excellence Awards and congratulate the organising committee on such a successful evening. AGRICULTURE — DRY SEASON Statement by Minister for Agriculture and Food MR D.T. REDMAN (Blackwood–Stirling — Minister for Agriculture and Food) [2.07 pm]: At 5.30 pm today in the Liberal Party meeting room, representatives from the Department of Agriculture and Food and I will provide a briefing on the government’s approach to the dry season. The matter is above party politics, so I have chosen to brief government and opposition members at the same time. I strongly urge all members to attend. I wish to inform the house of a visit last week from Senator Joe Ludwig, the new federal minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. Our meeting was very positive and it is reassuring to know that my federal counterpart is on the same page as I am. Last Tuesday, Senator Joe Ludwig and I visited some of the state’s most drought-affected areas. We met with producers taking part in the drought pilot at Mukinbudin and Lake Grace— areas that have experienced severe seasonal conditions. We also visited Wagin to observe a financial workshop that has been provided as part of the drought pilot. It was good for Minister Ludwig and me to talk with farmers and receive feedback on how the drought pilot is progressing. I look forward to working with Joe on these and other issues in the future. I am sure it is the beginning of a very constructive relationship. 7410 [ASSEMBLY - Tuesday, 12 October 2010] This dry season is clearly impacting heavily on farms and regional businesses. There is no easy solution to the many challenges that people are confronted with. Each farming family will have different issues that require an individual response. The Dry Seasons Advisory Committee was appointed by cabinet to provide advice to government on how to respond. Our $21 million drought preparedness pilot, while not a direct response to this dry season, offers immediate access to a range of services that would not normally be available. It is also reassuring to see industry taking the lead on the matter—one example is Co-operative Bulk Handling Ltd running a grain seed bank. Banks have said they will take a medium to long-term view of the sector. They have confidence in the industry; though it will no doubt be a very difficult time for some individuals. Consumers also play an important role. I urge consumers not to abandon WA growers during this time. This unprecedented dry season has not only impacted the Wheatbelt and pastoral regions but has also extended to the South West corner of the state. This means consumers will see changes when buying fruit and vegetables at the supermarket. I urge consumers to keep buying WA produce to support our farmers. The Buy West Eat Best slogan is now more important than ever. MENTAL HEALTH WEEK Statement by Minister for Mental Health DR G.G. JACOBS (Eyre — Minister for Mental Health) [2.09 pm]: This week marks an important time for all Western Australians. It is Mental Health Week. As I have said in this place many times before, one out of every five Australians—about 20 per cent—will experience some form of mental illness in their lives. It also affects the remaining four out of five people; family, carers and loved ones are all affected by mental illness. Many events this week not only raise awareness of mental health but also recognise the excellent work surrounding the caring for those with mental illness. On Sunday I participated in the ARAFMI Mental Health Week opening event—the inaugural walk of pride. It was good to see the member for Kwinana, the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, there as well. Yesterday I visited the Bentley adolescent unit “Families at Work” open day where I announced that $337 000 has been provided by the Mental Health Commission for refurbishment of the Bentley adolescent unit with improved staff training and an increased focus on discharge planning. Along with the member for Southern River, I launched an art competition for primary school children in the Southern River electorate to submit original artwork based on the theme “Feelings”. I congratulate him for that initiative. Last night I officially opened the new Mental Health Law Centre, an independent legal advocacy group that stands up for people with mental illness, particularly in the review of their involuntary status. This morning I also had the pleasure of announcing the winners of the Mental Health Good Outcomes Awards. A big congratulations to all recipients, including Growing Towards Wellness, the South West Institute of Technology partnering with South West Horticultural Therapy and Training; the Mental Health Law Centre WA; Lorraine Powell; Dena Lawrence of Hollywood Private Hospital; Music to Open Your Mind by the Southern Metropolitan Area Health Service, Mental Health; the Child Health Promotion Research Centre, Edith Cowan University; the Ethnic Disability Advocacy Centre; Anthony DeCeglie, for his article in The Sunday Times; Grant Wheatley from the Department of Education, hospital school services; and Ann White, well known to many, of the WA Association for Mental Health. This government is committed to delivering better outcomes for people with mental illness. We are focused on reforming areas in mental health service delivery that require improvement. Western Australia is among world leaders in the importance it places on mental health. I encourage all Western Australians to take an interest in Mental Health Week and just step back and take some time to look at their own mental health and emotional wellbeing. QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE HEALTH SUPPORT WORKERS — WAGE CLAIM 582. Mr E.S. RIPPER to the Minister for Commerce: I refer to the government’s ongoing refusal to provide our health support workers with a $1.20 an hour wage increase. (1) What is the government’s wages policy and to whom in the public sector does it apply? (2) Will the minister review this policy given the big improvement in the state government’s financial position since the post global financial crisis context in which the policy was adopted? (3) Given that doctors have received a 12 per cent wage increase, health department bureaucrats earning more than $500 000 a year have pocketed an extra $15 000 and the government can afford to pay Sharyn O’Neill an extra $50 000 a year, why will the minister not agree to fair wages for low-paid hospital workers? [ASSEMBLY - Tuesday, 12 October 2010] 7411 Mr W.R. MARMION replied: I thank the Leader of the Opposition for the question. (1)–(3) This government has been negotiating this arrangement for months and months. Under the wages policy that we have in place, we are prepared to offer CPI increases for the next three years under all our agreements.

  • The Society Congratulates Dr Howard Gray, Winner of the Williams
    October 2019 GENERAL MEETING The next meeting at Stirling House is on Wednesday 16 October at 6pm when Dr Joseph Christensen will present a paper on ‘Cyclones in the first century of European settlement in northwest Western Australia’. Refreshments available from 5.30pm; Bookshop open until 6pm. Tropical cyclones or willy-willys are a recurring feature of life in Western Australia north of the 26th parallel and feature regularly in the work of historians about the vast northwest districts. Few however have sought to look beyond cyclones as singular events to consider them instead as a process shaping patterns of settlement across time. This paper looks at how cyclones have shaped the post-settlement history of the northwest by examining the ways that colonists adjusted to the threat and reality of extreme tropical weather at sea and on land. It therefore aims to look beyond the periodic ‘cyclone disasters’ that devastated coastal shipping and the pearling fleets in the era before the Second World War to also consider a series of lesser-known events that had subtle yet lasting impacts on settlements stretching from Shark Bay to Broome. Cyclones, the paper suggests, are an important aspect of post-settlement history in the northwest. Joseph Christensen is a research fellow at Murdoch University, where he works on the maritime and environmental history of WA. His most recent publication is the edited collection Pearls, People and Power: Pearling and Indian Ocean Worlds (with Pedro Machado and Steve Mullins). The Society congratulates Dr Howard Gray, winner of the Williams/ Lee Steere Publications Prize for 2019 Howard Gray, Jambinbirri - Champion Bay: Geraldton Western Australia: a pictorial and narrative history, Westralian Books, Geraldton, 2018.
