    Address by His Excellency Mr Takaaki Kojima, Ambassador of Japan to Australia Japan-Australia Relations IN THE ZONE (Plenary Session 2: Australia in the “Asian Century” and strategic role in the zone) 9 November 2009 1 His Excellency Dr Ken Michael, The Honorable Chris Evans, Professor Kim Beazley, Dr Michael Chaney, His Excellency Ambassador Zhang Junsai, Distinguished guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, 1. Introduction – Comprehensive Strategic Partnership It is a great pleasure for me to be given an opportunity to speak at this inaugural international public policy conference, IN THE ZONE, organized by the University of Western Australia. I am delighted to have come back again to this beautiful city. As a matter of fact, immediately after I assumed the present post, I did visit Western Australia for my first official state visit in Australia as ambassador. The reason is obvious. Western Australia is most important for Japan. In this session, following the excellent tone-setting address by Minister Evans and the speech by Ambassador Zhang, I would like to speak about the bilateral relationship between Japan and Australia, focusing on recent developments, referring to the strategic importance of Western Australia. As you are all aware, the Democratic Party of Japan gained a landslide victory at the last general election and the new government led by Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama came into office in September. Prime Minister Hatoyama and Prime Minister Rudd have already met in New York at the United Nations General Assembly and at the G20 Summit held in Pittsburgh last September. 2 They also met at the East Asia Summit meeting in Thailand late October and will meet again at the APEC leaders’ meeting in Singapore later this week.

  • P77c-137A Mr Colin Barnett
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 16 February 2016] p77c-137a Mr Colin Barnett; Mr Roger Cook; Mrs Michelle Roberts; Mr Mark McGowan; Mrs Liza Harvey; Dr Tony Buti; Mr Peter Tinley; Mr Ben Wyatt; Ms Rita Saffioti; Mr Bill Johnston; Mr Peter Watson; Mr Paul Papalia; Mr Shane Love; Mr Dave Kelly; Ms Lisa Baker; Ms Libby Mettam PREMIER’S STATEMENT Presentation MR C.J. BARNETT (Cottesloe — Premier) [3.16 pm]: I rise to outline the Liberal–National government’s legislative and policy agenda for 2016—the eighth year of the government and the final year of the thirty-ninth Parliament. Bushfires: Unfortunately, once again I begin this Premier’s Statement noting the tragic consequences of recent major bushfires across the state. In November, fires near Esperance claimed four lives and burned more than 260 000 hectares of farm and bushland. In January, a massive fire near Waroona claimed two lives and razed the town of Yarloop, destroying some 181 homes and businesses. The effects of such devastation are heartbreaking, not least for the family and friends of those who died but also for the people who lost homes, animals and treasured possessions. I acknowledge and thank the efforts of all who fought the fires and the many thousands who supported those firefighting efforts, including volunteers. The government has appointed Euan Ferguson, former head of the Victorian Country Fire Authority and the South Australian Country Fire Service, to thoroughly investigate the response to the Waroona fire. The terms of reference for the investigation are wide enough to address issues relevant to the Esperance fire and other major events.

  • April 2019 Exceptional Schooling
    APR NEWS Garden Party Raises the Roof The Raise the Roof Garden Party held on February 21 at the McCusker residence was a wonderful occasion to celebrate the campaign’s successes so far. The event highlighted the amazing goodwill amongst the community towards the auditorium project and it was affirming to hear School Patron Malcolm McCusker and our School Board Chair Dr Ken Michael reiterate their full support for our fundraising efforts. Soon after the Garden Party, our School Patron Malcolm McCusker and his wife Tonya announced they would be contributing half a million dollars to the auditorium project via the McCusker Charitable Foundation. This donation came hot on the heels of a generous donation of one hundred thousand dollars by School Board member and parent, Dr Nicholas Waldron and his wife Dr Heidi Waldron. The campaign also received several other large donations of ten thousand dollars plus. Since reaching our fundraising target for Stage 1, a 500-seat functional auditorium, the WA Education Department arranged a tender for an architectural firm to undertake revised drawings and to see the project through to completion. The successful bidder was Site Architectural Studio. The School is now working with Site to ensure the very best of design principles are implemented and that the final design is cost effective. As the final step, project documents will be submitted to Treasury for endorsement by the Expenditure Review Committee as the auditorium is a significant State Government undertaking. Once endorsed, the plans will then go to tender for the build. We are anticipating building will commence later this year.
