  • 2021 WA State Election: a Campaign Like No Other – Sandwiched with Tactics from Previous Elections
    2021 WA State Election: A campaign like no other – sandwiched with tactics from previous elections. By Hon Eric Ripper AM 3 March 2021 Most State Governments win a second term. Their senior ministers are still mentally and physically fresh. Festering problems have been blamed on their predecessors. The upside of their agenda has been announced but any downsides, including the implementation problems, are still to emerge. Meanwhile, on the ground their enthusiastic new MPs have been building their personal votes. On the other side, many opposition politicians struggle to make the transition from government and to recover political direction, energy and aggression after their loss. Even before COVID-19, the re-election of the McGowan Government, albeit with a smaller majority, could have been expected. The pandemic has vastly enhanced the Government’s political circumstances in at least three ways. It has created an enormous opportunity to demonstrate competence and leadership and to attract public attention to the performance of the Premier – an opportunity which the Government has fully grasped. Secondly, COVID-19 has provided an alibi for broken promises and disappointed expectations. Finally, it has provided a shield against the politics of emerging issues like public sector fraud or homelessness. Despite the pandemic’s economic impact, many voters are better off than they were in 2017, when the WA economy was in recession. JobKeeper, Federal and State economic stimulus programs, rampaging iron ore prices, a rebound in house prices and the deal on WA’s share of the GST are all contributing. Party campaigns are usually made up of 33 days of policy announcements, which the party attempts to tie into a mutually reinforcing narrative.

MR M. McGOWAN (Rockingham — Leader of the Opposition) [12.20 pm]: I rise to speak on the Premier’s Statement. The year 2016 marks the final year before the state election. It is a crucial year for Western Australia. Western Australia is at the crossroads. Our state needs change; it needs a change of direction and Western Australians know it. Western Australia is crying out for a change from the management that this government has provided this state. Our state needs a new government. It needs new ideas and it needs a new direction. We need to get rid of our tired, old government—a government that has created an enormous mess in Western Australia. We need a competent, responsible and honest government in Western Australia. We need a government with a vision for the future—the long-term future of Western Australia—and a team that is prepared to hang in there for the long haul. WA Labor has a team that is ready to govern. I love this state. It has provided me with opportunities beyond my wildest imaginings. I may have come from somewhere else, but I have lived the majority of my life in Western Australia. This is a state of resilient, decent and hardworking people with good values of honesty, compassion and decency.

Second Reading — Cognate Debate Resumed from 21 September. MR M. McGOWAN (Rockingham) [4.20 pm]: I rise as the lead speaker for the opposition on the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Bill 2011 and the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Amendment Bill 2011. I note at the outset that the Minister for Environment is handling these bills. Considering that the Premier is the Minister for State Development, I would have thought that it would be more appropriate for him to handle these pieces of legislation for the petroleum and geothermal energy industries. Given his role in this state and his position, I would have thought he would come into the chamber and handle this legislation. I thought that the Premier might have been slightly more knowledgeable than the Minister for Environment on the subject. Be that as it may, we will deal with the “B Team” when it comes to this — Mr B.S. Wyatt: “B”? About “Z”! Mr M. McGOWAN: When it comes to this legislation, we will deal with the “B Team” in the person of the Minister for Environment.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 21 November 2017] p5800b-5800b Ms Emily Hamilton; Mr Mark McGowan MCGOWAN MINISTRY — CHINA AND JAPAN VISIT 677. Ms E. HAMILTON to the Premier: I refer to the Premier’s recent trade mission to China and Japan, which focused on growing tourism and our share of international students. Can the Premier advise the house of the importance of this delegation; what was achieved by the delegation; and what opportunities there are for WA to further engage with these two key trading partners in order to support the state’s economy and create jobs? Mr M. McGOWAN replied: I thank the member for Joondalup for the question. Prior to the election in March, I committed that, if elected Premier, I would lead a trade delegation to China as my first overseas visit as Premier of Western Australia, and I have delivered on that commitment. I also took the Minister for Tourism and the head of Perth Airport to Japan, consequent to the visit to China. One of the things I am determined to do is strengthen our trading relationship with both China and Japan. It is obvious that I was criticised for undertaking that activity by members opposite, but I do not apologise. In fact, I am proud of the fact that I led one of the biggest trade delegations in the history of this state to China to diversify and expand our trading relationship with China, and I took representatives of Perth Airport to Japan to secure high-level meetings in Japan in relation to those issues.

  • 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.

    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.
