NORBERGER (Joondalup) [6.29 pm]: Madam Deputy Speaker, it is an honour to deliver my first speech to the Legislative Assembly of Western Australia tonight. I begin by congratulating you on your appointment to the position of Deputy Speaker of the house and I also congratulate all those who were elected or re-elected on 9 March. To be afforded the privilege of representing the people of Joondalup, such a diverse and progressive electorate, is humbling to say the least, and I sincerely thank the people of the electorate of Joondalup for their faith in me to be our community spokesperson in this Parliament. I may at this point also acknowledge my predecessor, Mr Tony O’Gorman, who served the community of Joondalup for over 12 years. Whilst we may have differed in our vision for Joondalup’s future, there is no denying that Mr O’Gorman cared greatly for our community and its many establishments. I wish him and his family all the very best for the future. The electorate of Joondalup covers approximately 30 square kilometres, taking in the suburbs of Craigie, Beldon, Heathridge, Edgewater, Connolly, Joondalup CBD, Joondalup and parts of Currambine. The electorate is bounded by Whitfords Avenue along the south, Marmion Avenue along the west and Mitchell Freeway and beautiful Lake Joondalup along the east.

  • Kings' NBA Venture a USA Slam Dunk for Sydney
    Media Release Thursday, 28 September 2017 Kings’ NBA venture a USA slam dunk for Sydney The Sydney Kings will represent the Harbour City on one of the biggest sporting stages in the world next week when they take on the NBA’s Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City on October 3. The Sydney Kings were farewelled today at an event at Sydney’s International Airport enroute to the US for the first ever game between a National Basketball League (NBL) and NBA side.

  • Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 17 April 2013] P111c
    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 17 April 2013] p111c-145a Dr Mike Nahan; Speaker; Ms Josie Farrer; Ms Simone McGurk; Mr Paul Miles; Acting Speaker; Mr Dave Kelly; Ms Andrea Mitchell; Ms Rita Saffioti; Mr David Templeman; Mr Peter Abetz; Mr Vincent Catania; Mr J. Norberger ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Amendment to Motion Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. DR M.D. NAHAN (Riverton — Minister for Energy) [2.47 pm]: To backtrack quickly, the disaggregation that the former Labor government put in place and came into effect in 2006 was fundamentally flawed. During the last term of government we addressed some of those issues including rescuing Verve from bankruptcy and undertaking the hard political yards to increase the price to the retail market. It still has a number of fundamental flaws, one of which is that it has exposed taxpayers to a great deal of market risk by putting most of the market risk in Synergy. I would like to emphasise that yes, there has been a large number of private investments in this market over the past six years—$3 billion—but the truth is most of that investment relies on underwriting by the state. Very little of that investment involves the private sector taking market risk. The former Labor government put in a flawed system. The Labor Party might not want to recognise it, but that is the truth. We have made an announcement to combine Synergy and Verve; as the Premier said, one broad ring fence. That provides a balance sheet to protect taxpayers from the risk in the market.
