    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 12 August 2020] p4793c-4801a Mrs Liza Harvey; Ms Mia Davies; Mr Bill Marmion; Mr Peter Katsambanis IRON ORE PROCESSING (MINERALOGY PTY. LTD.) AGREEMENT AMENDMENT BILL 2020 Second Reading Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. MRS L.M. HARVEY (Scarborough — Leader of the Opposition) [2.56 pm]: I rise to continue my remarks about this amending legislation. I put on the record once again that the position of the Liberal Party room was a consensus position to not oppose this legislation. I would like to get on the record that we do not support the actions of Clive Palmer, which is why we are not opposing this legislation. During question time, I asked the Premier whether he would support a short sharp committee inquiry. It is ridiculous to say that the suggestion of a committee inquiry or that contentious legislation go to a committee to potentially strengthen it is in any way, shape or form showing that the legislation is not supported. That is ridiculous. The amending legislation in front of us is backdated to have effect from 11 August. It was read in just after 5.00 pm yesterday so that Mr Palmer and his lawyers could not get wind of it and could not lodge a writ in court. It needed to be read in yesterday after that opportunity had lapsed. The legislation is backdated to be effective from yesterday, 11 August 2020, at around about 5.00 pm. Should the upper house choose to send it to a committee to potentially strengthen it and ward off a potential High Court challenge, it could be done and dusted by 15 September.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY - Thursday, 26 November 2009] p9999c-10000a Mr Bill Marmion; Mr Colin Barnett; Speaker; Mr Peter Watson PARLIAMENTARY PRECINCT — FUTURE ACCOMMODATION NEEDS 966. Mr W.R. MARMION to the Premier: Since I have been elected to this Parliament I have become aware that the buildings and facilities within the parliamentary precinct do not adequately cater for the roles and functions of Parliament, especially for committees and support services. I am also aware of the limitations and rising rental costs in the central business district, where a number of government offices and agencies are located. Can the Premier please update the house on what the government is doing about the future accommodation needs of the Parliament and other government offices? Mr C.J. BARNETT replied: I thank the member for Nedlands for the question. I will answer the second part first. The lease on Governor Stirling Tower, which is the main accommodation for government and which covers the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, the Public Sector Commission, the Department of Treasury and Finance and the Department of Indigenous Affairs, expires in June 2012. Although the government would like to continue that lease, it is understood that the owner of the building is not prepared to do so. We will endeavour to gain some extension, but as it looks at the moment, Governor Stirling Tower will no longer be available after June 2012 as the principal accommodation for my office and the central agencies of the government. Somewhat coincidentally, I received a letter, dated 24 September, from the Speaker and the President raising issues about accommodation for the Parliament.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 21 June 2017] p1391b-1394a Mr Mark McGowan; Dr Mike Nahan; Ms Mia Davies; Mr Bill Marmion; Mr Peter Rundle PETER VERNON JONES, AM Condolence Motion MR M. McGOWAN (Rockingham — Premier) [12.01 pm] — without notice: I move — That this house records its sincere regret at the death of Mr Peter Vernon Jones, AM, and tenders its deep sympathy to his family. I acknowledge members of Peter’s family who are in the gallery today for this important affirmation of someone who was a very significant figure in this Parliament in the time he was here, and in the community before and after his parliamentary career. Peter Jones was elected as the member for Narrogin in 1974 and served his electorate and the state diligently until his retirement 12 years later in 1986. Peter was born in Launceston, Tasmania, in 1933, to parents Harold Vernon Jones, a headmaster, and Annie May Simmons. In Hagley, Tasmania, where he had taken up a life of farming, Peter married his wife, Toni, in 1960. Eight years later, Peter and his young family moved to Western Australia to pursue farming opportunities in an effort to secure their family’s future. The Jones’ settled in Narrogin, where they became successful wool, meat and grain growers. In 1974 Peter took the leap from being a successful farmer and board member of the WA Barley Marketing Board to running for the Legislative Assembly, and he won. Looking back on his parliamentary career, Peter’s achievements are many and enduring. His 12 years in Parliament were turbulent in that they included three splits in his own party, which saw him enter Parliament as a member of the Country Party and retire as a member of the Liberal Party.

I acknowledge the offer of a one-off payment of $90 million from the Commonwealth Government on the basis that the State takes on sole responsibility for providing essential and municipal services to remote Aboriginal communities from 1 July 2015. Unfortunately, I was not able to meet the timeline of 31 July 2014 you requested as this offer will need to be considered by Cabinet prior to any formal response. I will endeavour to have this matter scheduled as a high priority and would hope that I can respond substantively by the end of August. In the meantime I am hopeful that progress can be made towards a broader bilateral agreement as proposed in the Premier's letter to the Prime Minister, where the State and the Commonwealth can more closely align our resources and efforts around priority areas.
