    Page 1 of 271 ATTACHMENT A: SCHEDULE OF SUBMISSIONS ON DRAFT LOCAL PLANNING STRATEGY (2011) Submissions Received from Public Ref Name & Address Verbatim Submission Planning Services Comment No. Details P1 Pamela Harman I wish to object to the diabolical planning proposal suggested by the LPS for Denmark. Noted – refer comments and associated recommendations in PO Box 39 One could safely say that people living along the proposed routes do so because of a Officer’s Report titled Proposed East-West Link Road. DENMARK WA 6333 lifestyle choice, for themselves, for their children, for their pets and livestock. If they wish to live alongside what will become a heavy haulage by-pass road, they would have done so. Ratepayers living along the proposed route have invested their savings to build a haven for themselves and done so in the knowledge that this lifestyle would be protected by good planning decisions by council. Not only is the proposed route planned with apparently no concept as to the terrain being traversed but no comprehension has been given to the gigantic environmental damage which will occur supposedly in the name of progress! One hears all the time of councils taking people to task for the removal of undergrowth alongside road verges or river systems, heavy fines being issued for those who do destroy bushland and yet council, intends to construct some monolith of a highway which will not only destroy magnificent old growth forest of many species but create a zone of ongoing pollution alongside the Denmark River which runs beside the East River Road.

    MAKING A DIFFERENCE—A FRONTIER OF FIRSTS WOMEN IN THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT 1921–2012 David Black and Harry Phillips Parliamentary History Project Parliament of Western Australia 2012 Women in the Western Australian Parliament 1921–2012 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ MARGARET JUNE CRAIG MLA Wellington 30 March 1974–19 February 1983 (Lib). Minister for Lands and Forests 10 March 1977–25 August 1978; Minister for Local Government and Urban Development; and Town Planning 25 August 1978–25 February 1983. Member of the Honorary Royal Commission Appointed to Inquire into the Marketing and Distribution of Beef and Sheep Meat Products 1975. After only one term in Parliament, and doubling her majority at the second attempt, June Craig had the distinction, in March 1977, of becoming only the second woman—after Dame Florence Cardell-Oliver (q.v.)—to achieve Cabinet rank in Western Australia. She then held various Cabinet posts until the 1983 state election when after a redistribution she contested unsuccessfully the newly created and marginal district of Mitchell encompassing the outer suburbs of Bunbury and neighbouring areas, allowing another Liberal candidate to be returned for the more favourable areas in her old seat. Nine years earlier, on her very first day in the Legislative Assembly in 1974, and as only the fourth woman ever elected to that chamber, she had the honour bestowed on her by the then Premier Sir Charles Court of moving the Address- in-Reply debate. As she said later: … there was no reason why more women should not be there, that we really had the same sort of capacities and abilities and that perhaps in many ways we had more common sense.
