    Ref: Submission/Elections/Parliament/home/c: Tuesday, 8 June 2021 Although it is outside these Terms of Reference of your Inquiry, this has never stopped previous Parliamentary Committees from pursuing inquiries and recommendations totally different to what Honourable Members ever gave them authority to do. Therefore, I would make this submission that this Honourable Committee recommend to the Honourable John Quigly MLA – Minister for Electoral Affairs that he amend the Constitution Acts Amendment Act 1899 to remove all references to the Legislative Council. If you or the Honourable Minister are unable to recommend this course of action the Parliament of Western Australia ought to abolish the Legislative Council and replace it with a designated House of Review – one that cannot be political or obstructionist to the democratically elected Government of the day. We would have a better group of upper house MLC’s if we chose them randomly from the electoral roll, or if you randomly chose 34 innocent bystanders In the Hay Street Mall and asked them if they would like to become an MLC. If you are unwilling to venture there, I would recommend the following to provide a more representative and capable body of Honourable men and women to scrutinise the Government of the Day. Remove any reference to political parties, and legislate to prohibit members and candidates for election to the House of Review to be members of any political party. Abolish public funding of political parties (double the present rate to Lower House candidates if you wish to maintain funding to political parties, but my recommendation is that this should also be abolished altogether).

    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Thursday, 28 June 2012] p4396b-4404a Ms Mia Davies; Hon Alison Xamon; Hon Col Holt; Hon Matt Benson-Lidholm; Ms Wendy Duncan; Hon Helen Bullock; Deputy President; Deputy President: REGIONAL HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES Motion HON MIA DAVIES (Agricultural) [11.43 am] — without notice: I move — That this house condemns the federal government for its failure to provide adequate GP services for regional Western Australia and applauds the state government for its investment in regional health infrastructure and services. The Nationals welcome this opportunity to raise this very important matter in Parliament; it is of critical importance to our constituents. Today I would like to discuss the lengths this state government has gone to in filling the gaping hole in health services in regional Western Australia. That gaping hole is a lack of medical practitioners, both general and specialist. I would like to start by noting that the commonwealth Standing Committee on Health and Ageing recently conducted an inquiry into the registration processes and support for overseas-trained doctors. The committee’s report, which is titled “Lost in the Labyrinth”, noted — … the Committee received a range of comments in relation to the extent of the shortfall. Two key medical workforce issues were raised again and again. These were an inadequate supply of medical practitioners generally, and an uneven geographical distribution of medical practitioners, with workforce shortages remaining acute in some regional areas and particularly in rural and remote locations. While I note the existence of Health Workforce Australia and its goal of achieving a health workforce of self- sufficiency in Australia, because this was particularly focused on how we introduce overseas doctors into Australia to fill our shortfall, I draw the attention of the house to another report that found doctor shortages in rural and remote areas will only worsen, despite growing numbers of medical students.

  • V-3-APR NOV 08 KERR PHILIPS WA Parliamentary Chronicle 10 …
    Western Australia Parliamentary Chronicle July 2007 to August 2008 Liz Kerr and Harry Phillips * The last fourteen months of the 37 th Parliament in Western Australia was marked by a level of controversy and the announcement of an early election to be held on 6 September 2008. Highlights included the findings of a number of parliamentary committees, the reports of the Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) with some of its recommendations being questioned by the Parliamentary Inspector of the CCC. Once again the lobbying activities of former Labor Premier Brian Burke and Minister Julian Grill, together with former Liberal Party Senator Noel Crichton- Browne featured in the controversy, and in the 12 months to August 2008 there were three changes of leadership in the Opposition Liberal Party, as the party suffered from internal divisions and indiscretions. Meanwhile the State’s booming economy, which provided excellent indices in terms of growth, employment and investment, led observers to believe that the incumbent Labor Government would be returned to office. The major ‘one vote one value’ redistribution in 2007 contributed to this view as it gave more seats to metropolitan Perth in the Legislative Assembly which appeared to make it difficult for the Liberal and Nationals, historically the stronger parties in the country regions. The redistribution, however, gave rise to further tensions within the parties over pre-selections, leading to a spate of resignations and an increase in independent members, whose numbers had swelled from two to seven since the February 2005 election. A serious gas explosion on the North West shelf in early June 2008, high international oil prices and a bear stock market combined to further change the economic and political climate.

  • Political Chronicles
    Australian Journal of Politics and History: Volume 54, Number 2, 2008, pp. 289-341. Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia July to December 2007 JOHN WANNA The Australian National University and Griffith University The Stage, the Players and their Exits and Entrances […] All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; [William Shakespeare, As You Like It] In the months leading up to the 2007 general election, Prime Minister John Howard waited like Mr Micawber “in case anything turned up” that would restore the fortunes of the Coalition. The government’s attacks on the Opposition, and its new leader Kevin Rudd, had fallen flat, and a series of staged events designed to boost the government’s stocks had not translated into electoral support. So, as time went on and things did not improve, the Coalition government showed increasing signs of panic, desperation and abandonment. In July, John Howard had asked his party room “is it me” as he reflected on the low standing of the government (Australian, 17 July 2007). Labor held a commanding lead in opinion polls throughout most of 2007 — recording a primary support of between 47 and 51 per cent to the Coalition’s 39 to 42 per cent. The most remarkable feature of the polls was their consistency — regularly showing Labor holding a 15 percentage point lead on a two-party-preferred basis. Labor also seemed impervious to attack, and the government found it difficult to get traction on “its” core issues to narrow the gap.

  • Parliamentary National Party of Australia (Wa)
    PARLIAMENTARY NATIONAL PARTY OF AUSTRALIA (WA) Submission to the Economic Regulation Authority (ERA) of Western Australia’s Inquiry into Microeconomic Reform 1. Overview The Parliamentary National Party of Australia (WA) (‘PNP’) acknowledges the release of the ERA’s draft report – ‘Inquiry into Microeconomic Reform in Western Australia’ (‘draft report’) and the opportunity to provide feedback to help shape the final report. The contents of the PNP’s submission will focus solely on Royalties for Regions (RFR). 2. Royalties for Regions - a Hypothecated Fund RFR is a hypothecated fund – in each financial year 25% of forecast royalty income is to be credited to the fund to promote and facilitate economic, business and social development in regional Western Australia. Prior to the introduction of the RFR fund there was very limited government expenditure in regional Western Australia. This resulted in a backlog of infrastructure projects and neglected service delivery. Given the past failings of State Governments to provide funding for regional WA it is necessary to maintain a fund that quarantines money for the regions. Without RFR history tells us that regional areas will be neglected. 3. RFR is “likely funding sub-optimal projects that do not achieve value-for-money” The PNP does not agree with comments in the draft report that the RFR fund is “likely funding sub-optimal projects that do not achieve value-for-money.” Local decision making is at the core of RFR and therefore local communities are best placed to determine the “value” of RFR projects. For example, Karratha is the administrative centre of the economic engine room of the nation, yet has been deemed for years to be an unattractive place to live.

  • 18-Phillips WA Election
    The 2008 Western Australian State Election: The Snap Poll Blunder * Harry Phillips ** Following the 6 September 2008 election in Western Australian, and a week of tense negotiations, the presence of ‘wall to wall’ Labor Governments across Australia was broken. In a significant moment in the evolution of the Western Australian Parliament an ‘alliance’ headed by Colin Barnett, the Liberal Party leader, formed government for the 38 th Parliament. Remarkably, Barnett had been reinstated to the party leadership a few days before the campaign ‘caretaker phase’. 1 The Liberal Party leadership had successively been in the hands of Matt Birney (to March 2006), Paul Omodie (to January 2008) and Troy Buswell, 2 each of whom had returned very poor poll readings. With the Liberal’s experiencing long term serious leadership problems, both the polls and pundits had been predicting a Labor return to office with Alan Carpenter to remain as Premier. However, Carpenter’s decision to call a snap election, the first since the passage of the ‘one vote one value’ legislation for the Legislative Assembly, nearly six months ahead of schedule broke a century of tradition in the State whereby governments served a full term. There were vital pieces of legislation lying on the table 3 and the scheduled regional sitting of the Legislative Assembly in the marginal seat of Bunbury in early * Thanks are due to Antony Green for the electoral aggregates, preference and swing calculations included in this article and to Judy Ballantyne, State Parliamentary Library Director in Western Australia for permission to use data included in the electoral analysis prepared by Antony Green for the Parliamentary Library 2009.

The nine RDCs cover the Gascoyne; Goldfields-Esperance; Great Southern; Kimberley; Mid West; Peel; Pilbara; South West and Wheatbelt regions, as specified by the Regional Development Commissions Act 1993. In seeking this review we have to ask a fundamental question: How should Government be organised to improve services and support for regional development? In answering this question we must also assess the effectiveness and cost efficiency of the RDCs, and the value of the existing model.

  • Agriculture in Wa- Making Every Hectare Count
    Speech by Agriculture Minister Terry Redman to The Rural Media Association 12 March 2009 AGRICULTURE IN WA- MAKING EVERY HECTARE COUNT Food, Fibre and Fuel for the Future (CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Thank you Travis King , Rural Media Association President Acknowledge colleagues: Hon Brendan Grylls MLA , Minister for Regional Development; Lands; Minister assisting the minister for State Development, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport. Hon Wendy Duncan MLC, Member for the Agricultural Region INTRODUCTION It’s easy to get a little depressed when you pick up the paper at the moment. There’s a fair amount of doom and gloom about, but I believe that we in the food and agriculture industries in WA have cause for optimism. I want to make it clear that when I talk about agriculture, I’m talking broadly about everyone involved in the agriculture and food industries –farm hands, fruit-pickers, chemical consultants, agronomists, stockmen, seed breeders, plant biologists, wine-makers, software developers, organic beef growers, butchers, bakers, goat cheese makers. 1 Agriculture is the ultimate renewable industry. Mines and gas fields will eventually be depleted, and the price of nickel will always fluctuate. One certainty is that people always need to eat. They will also choose fibre for clothes and houses and increasingly they will turn to biofuels for energy. Our challenge is to make sure the world sources its food, fibre and fuel (the three ‘f’s) from what we produce here in Western Australia. The bacon and eggs you are enjoying today are the result of the hard work of the men and women of the WA agriculture and food industries.
