P5809d-5850A Mr Paul Papalia; Mrs Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 21 November 2017] p5809d-5850a Mr Paul Papalia; Mrs Liza Harvey; Mr Colin Barnett; Mr Matthew Hughes; Mr Terry Healy; Mr Zak Kirkup; Mr Chris Tallentire; Ms Libby Mettam; Ms Sabine Winton; Mr Reece Whitby; Mr Ian Blayney; Mr Bill Marmion; Dr Mike Nahan SCHOOL CURRICULUM AND STANDARDS AUTHORITY AMENDMENT BILL 2017 Declaration as Urgent MR P. PAPALIA (Warnbro — Minister for Tourism) [3.53 pm]: In accordance with standing order 168(2), I move — That the bill be considered an urgent bill. The current wording of the School Curriculum and Standards Authority Act 1997 prevents the authority from releasing identified student data for the purposes of National Assessment Program — Literacy and Numeracy online testing. The amendments in the amending legislation that we are requesting to be made urgent are required to enable Western Australia to take part in NAPLAN Online next year, 2018. The School Curriculum and Standards Authority cannot wait for issues to be dealt with under the proposed information privacy legislation, so it must be done now. We are rapidly approaching the new school year and, thereafter, online NAPLAN testing. In addition, the current wording in the act prevents the authority from disclosing identified student data in response to ongoing requests from organisations such as the Telethon Kids Institute, which undertakes child health research studies for which data about educational achievement is relevant and necessary. Without the amendment, Western Australia will not be able to provide information to parties with a relevant and legitimate need to access it. We move that the bill be made urgent. MRS L.M. HARVEY (Scarborough — Deputy Leader of the Opposition) [3.54 pm]: We understand the reason the government is requesting that the School Curriculum and Standards Authority Amendment Bill 2017 be declared urgent. However, I draw the house’s attention to the government’s management of business so far this year since we resumed for the fortieth Parliament. Legislation has been given priority over the School Curriculum and Standards Authority Amendment Bill 2017 that has a time limitation attached to it. We understand absolutely that this amendment needs to go through to allow our Western Australian students to participate in NAPLAN Online. The Minister for Education and Training would have been briefed on that when she came into office on 11 March. She has had all this time to bring the legislation forward. Instead, the Animal Welfare Amendment Bill 2017 was prioritised ahead of this legislation with a time limitation, as was noted in debate the last week that Parliament sat. A whole range of legislation—41 pieces, in fact—has come to this place ahead of a time-limited bill that is now required to be declared urgent in the last two weeks of Parliament. We have to question the government’s priorities and how on earth it is prioritising legislation and drafting other commitments when it has time-limited legislation. The bill is not simple legislation. Although the bill will enable students in Western Australia to participate in NAPLAN Online, the government is asking us to rush through legislation that will allow identified student data—names, dates of birth, addresses, information about parents, and information about their academic records, which will potentially cross over with health records—to be used for research. I have no problem with the research that the Telethon Kids Institute will undertake but some parents have a significant issue with the privacy of data about their children. We are being asked to rush through debate in this place on identified student data being made available for research purposes. We were promised by the Leader of the House in the other place, the Minister for Education and Training, that there would be an amendment to this legislation at the request of Hon Donna Faragher from the other place. It would ensure that some protections would be put in place by way of regulation to ensure the protection of identified student data and the privacy of children in Western Australia. There is no amendment on the notice paper so I hope that the amendment will be brought forward during the consideration in detail stage because members of the Liberal Party have grave concerns about the release of identified student data without strict controls over how the data will be released, to whom it can be released and what form of identification it will include. There is nothing in this legislation to protect the data that belongs to Western Australian children and their parents. For the government to come in here and say that it needs our concurrence with the urgency of this legislation when it has prioritised 41 pieces of legislation ahead of it and when it knew there was a time limitation on this bill is a significant thumbing of the nose to parliamentary process, which is what we have seen from this government from day one. The Dangerous Sexual Offenders Legislation Amendment Bill 2017 was one of the last two bills to have been declared urgent. It has not even been prioritised in the other place. It has still not been debated. It came through here with much fanfare and government members said, “This is urgent; we have to get it through.” It has not even been listed for debate in the other place. The Salaries and Allowances Amendment (Debt and Deficit Remediation) Bill 2017 was the second piece of legislation to be declared urgent. It involves pay rises for members of Parliament and other public servants for the next four years. It was declared urgent with heaps of fanfare and lots of media trumpeting about how important it was. It has not even been debated in the other place. Hopefully, knowing that the Minister for Education and Training, who is in charge of government business in the other place, is the sponsor of this legislation, we will see some integrity in the urgency of bringing this legislation forward as an [1] Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 21 November 2017] p5809d-5850a Mr Paul Papalia; Mrs Liza Harvey; Mr Colin Barnett; Mr Matthew Hughes; Mr Terry Healy; Mr Zak Kirkup; Mr Chris Tallentire; Ms Libby Mettam; Ms Sabine Winton; Mr Reece Whitby; Mr Ian Blayney; Mr Bill Marmion; Dr Mike Nahan urgent bill. Hopefully, we will see it debated in the other place and passed by the end of the year. We hope that will occur and that, with the current government having such a big majority, its abuse of the processes of Parliament and its contempt of Parliament will not continue. MR C.J. BARNETT (Cottesloe) [3.59 pm]: As the member for Scarborough has said, there is absolutely no urgency for this at all. Mr P. Papalia: That’s not what she said. Mr C.J. BARNETT: There is no urgency for this. I was a minister at the table when National Assessment Program — Literacy and Numeracy was introduced. It has been in operation for 15 or 16 years. The School Curriculum and Standards Authority Amendment Bill 2017 relates to the release of personal details of students and/or their parents. That is not a matter that should be rushed through in any sense and to suggest that this is an urgent bill is just sheer nonsense. There is nothing urgent about this. There is nothing in the way the education bureaucracies across Australia work that is urgent. I assure the minister that at numerous education minister’s meetings there was never a sense of urgency at all. If the minister believes it is urgent, he has been played on a line by the commonwealth. Grow up and be responsible. MR P. PAPALIA (Warnbro — Minister for Tourism) [4.01 pm] — in reply: I will respond to the contributions from the other side. [Quorum formed.] Mr P. PAPALIA: In response to the extraordinary contributions to the debate about whether the amendment should be considered urgent, I find it interesting that there were only two speakers; one conceded it was urgent—the member for Scarborough—because, clearly, the School Curriculum and Standards Authority of Western Australia requires the ability to join NAPLAN Online next year, at the start of the new school year. By contrast, the other speaker, who made a very short, angry contribution—the member for Cottesloe—claims it is not urgent. Regardless of the inconsistency of the contributions, I will respond to the member for Scarborough’s questions about the amendment. An amendment to the bill will be moved. I was under the understanding that the nature of the amendment had been discussed with the shadow Minister for Education and Training. Mrs L.M. Harvey: It was at the suggestion of the shadow minister, yes. Mr P. PAPALIA: I understand it has been discussed with the shadow minister—she has been thoroughly briefed and is fully aware of the amendment and is satisfied that it meets her concerns about the legislation. With regard to whether it will be adequately debated and we are truncating in some fashion the extent of the opposition’s ability to contribute to democracy in Western Australia, it is an eight-clause amending bill. If the member for Scarborough would like me to cede debate time to the other side of the chamber, I will happily do so. However, I understand two members of the opposition will speak and some five on our side would like to make a contribution. In the event the member for Scarborough is concerned that half an hour for each speaker will be inadequate, I am sure that if I approach some of the people from our side who have indicated an interest in speaking, they will cede time for some other opposition members to speak.

LOGAN (Cockburn — Minister for Emergency Services) [4.31 pm]: I rise to make probably my last contribution to the Western Australian Legislative Assembly after nearly 20 years as the member for Cockburn. Come 13 March 2021, I will reach the milestone of 20 years as a member of Parliament. On that day, I truly hope to see the re-election of an even larger McGowan Labor government. I, instead, will return to normal public life after my parliamentary service that included four years as a parliamentary secretary, nearly eight years as a minister under three Labor Premiers and just over eight years as a shadow minister. Along with membership of various parliamentary committees, I have made 2 549 spoken contributions to this house. I have been warned by Speakers probably over 100 times, and despite my strenuous efforts and obnoxious behaviour, I have never been thrown out! For this anomaly, I must thank the numerous Speakers over the years for their tolerance and good work. Not many MPs ever get a chance to deliver a valedictory speech, due to the turbulent and cyclical nature of modern politics, so I am very, very grateful to be standing here today delivering mine. My gratitude is sincere, heartfelt and genuine to those institutions and people who have allowed me to be their representative in this Parliament for so long. Firstly and most importantly, I thank WA Labor, the party that I have been a member of for over 30 years.
