Hon Kate Doust MLC Hon Kate Doust MLC 22 October 2020 Dr Andrew Robertson CSC PSM Chief Health Officer Department of Health PO Box 8172 Perth Business Centre Perth WA 6849 Via email: [email protected] Dear Dr Robertson Sittings of the Legislative Council - COVID-19 Pandemic Phase 4 (modified) I note the modifications to the WA Roadmap Phase 4 restrictions announced by the State Government on 19 October 2020 that, with effect from 24 October 2020, will now allow exemptions to the 2 square metre rule at selected venues that primarily hold seated events, including theatres, concert halls, auditoriums, amphitheatres, cinemas, comedy lounges and performing arts centres. Consequently, I seek your advice regarding arrangements made for sittings of the Legislative Council from 3 November 2020. Since 31 March 2020, Members and staff working in the Legislative Council chamber have operated under modified seating and speaking arrangements, and procedures to ensure social distancing that minimise the risk presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. I enclose plans of the Legislative Council chamber showing its dimensions and pre-COVID-19 and current seating plans together with a list of COVID-19 measures in place for chamber operations. The Legislative Council will undertake its examination of the 2019- 20 estimates of revenue and expenditure in November in the Legislative Council chamber. This will involve numerous public servants being required to attend in the chamber to assist their relevant minister. PAR LI AM EN T OF WEST ER N AUSTRA LIA PARLIAMENT H OUSE. HARVEST TERRA C E.

Under the Closure and Restriction (Limit the Spread) Directions (No. 7), Parliament undertaking its normal operations is exempt from the 2 square metre rule. Given no community spread in Western Australia and the improving situation in other jurisdictions, I would recommend that the Legislative Council could return to the normal operations it had in place prior to 31 March 2020 for Member seating and staff operations. With regard to the public galleries, I would recommend that the numbers of the public be restricted to the capacity allowed by the 2 square metre rule. The hygiene measures outlined should continue. With regard to the Joint Sitting, I would recommend that normal operations could resume for Members and staff and essential visitors. I would recommend that hygiene arrangements and restrictions on the public gallery, as above, would continue.

This motion is a simple one. It acknowledges the crisis faced by Western Australia and the world. We are in a climate crisis and it can no longer be ignored. By declaring a climate emergency, we would be acknowledging that this crisis must be at the core of all decision-making. Today I am asking this house in the WA Parliament to think about our future and the future of our loved ones. I am asking each member to ask themselves here and now what kind of legacy they want to leave behind. Will it be one of leadership, compassion and conviction? I have met with mums and dads, students, grandparents, doctors and health professionals, lawyers, community organisers and just everyday people, some of whom are in the public gallery today. I thank them for being here. I have met with people from all walks of life, each sharing with me their concerns about the future.

  • Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia
    Australian Journal of Politics and History: Volume 53, Number 4, 2007, pp. 614-667. Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia January to June 2007 JOHN WANNA The Australian National University and Griffith University Shadow Dancing Towards the 2007 Election The election year began with Prime Minister John Howard facing the new Opposition leader, Kevin Rudd. Two developments were immediately apparent: as a younger fresher face Rudd played up his novelty value and quickly won public support; whereas Howard did not know how to handle his new “conservative” adversary. Rudd adopted the tactic of constantly calling himself the “alternative prime minister” while making national announcements and issuing invitations for summits as if he were running the government. He promised to reform federal-state relations, to work collaboratively with the states on matters such as health care, to invest in an “education revolution”, provide universal access to early childhood education, and to fast-track high-speed broadbanding at a cost of $4.7 billion. Rudd also began to stalk and shadow the prime minister around the country — a PM “Doppelgänger” — appearing in the same cities or at the same venues often on the same day (even going to the Sydney cricket test match together). Should his office receive word of the prime minister’s intended movements or scheduled policy announcements, Rudd would often appear at the location first or make upstaging announcements to take the wind from the PM’s sails. Politics was a tactical game like chess and Rudd wanted to be seen taking the initiative. He claimed he thought “it will be fun to play with his [John Howard’s] mind for a while” (Weekend Australian Magazine, 10-11 February 2007).

  • TIMELINE: Gold Royalty in Western Australia © Michael Darby 18 Oct 2019
    TIMELINE: Gold Royalty in Western Australia © Michael Darby 18 Oct 2019 1 July 1998 Introduction of WA gold royalty; 2.5% of the royalty value of the gold metal produced. The first 2,500 ounces of gold metal produced by each gold royalty project per annum are exempt.1 17 May 2012 Delivering the Budget, WA Treasurer Christian Porter surprised the mining industry by announcing a three-year review of the state's royalty regime. The move was forecast to raise an extra $180 million in 2015-16 but miners feared the actual take would be much higher2. 4 December 2013 Bill Johnston MLA (now ALP Govt Minister for Mines and Petroleum; Energy; Industrial Relations) told Parliament: “We do not support increasing royalties3. We do not support the figure of $180m or a 35 per cent increase in the royalties for the non-iron ore sector. .” 28 February 2015 A Weekend West article “Start ad blitz, Labor tells goldminers” reported: “Opposition Leader Mark McGowan has urged the gold industry to launch a politically damaging advertising campaign against the Barnett Government over its possible plan to raise royalties on the precious metal. Mr McGowan made the suggestion after a request from the goldminers’ lobby group for a Labor commitment to support a disallowance motion in Parliament against any increase to gold royalties. The Gold Royalties Response Group . has secured written commitments from Mr McGowan, Labor’s leader of the Upper House Sue Ellery and Greens MLC Robin Chapple to support any disallowance motion brought to the Legislative Council..”4 7 September 2017 In the Budget Speech, Treasurer Hon Ben Wyatt MLA announced an increase in the gold royalty intended to raised $392m over four years.5 The Treasurer expressed his view: “It’s about the gold sector delivering returns to the people that are in line with community expectations and other commodities.

    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Tuesday, 18 August 2015] p5425b-5431a Hon Kate Doust; Hon Robin Chapple; Hon Peter Collier ELECTION OF SENATORS AMENDMENT BILL 2015 Second Reading Resumed from 26 March. HON KATE DOUST (South Metropolitan — Deputy Leader of the Opposition) [5.48 pm]: On behalf of the opposition, I am pleased to say a few words in support of the Election of Senators Amendment Bill 2015. The bill was read into the house in March this year. It is a relatively simple bill with only four clauses, one of which provides the change. I know that the minister responsible is probably very keen to expeditiously get this bill through today. Given that we are not too sure about the federal government’s election timetable, it may be that we need to ensure that the bill is passed a lot faster than originally planned. However, I do not want to disturb the minister and have him think that I have not paid appropriate attention to this legislation or have him accuse me at a later stage of not spending enough time on the bill, so I will go through a few things and provide a little background for members as to why this piece of legislation is in front of us. As I said, it is a fairly straightforward bill with only four clauses and deals with the election of senators. The original bill was introduced into this Parliament in 1903 and assented to on 11 December in the same year. I am sure Hon Jim Chown will recall it; he was probably around at that time! I will go into some of the history.

    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Wednesday, 12 May 2021] p448b-455a Hon Robin Scott; Hon Robin Chapple became a key player in my team. Both these ladies went above and beyond their duties and never complained when I asked them to work late or to pop into the office when I needed help at the weekend. Thanks, girls. I will not forget the support you gave me and all the times you picked me up and dropped me off at the airport. Mr David Modolo, my electorate officer, travelled everywhere in the electorate with me—from Norseman to Kalumburu and everywhere in between. On some of our flights, we spent three or four hours in the air, with the worst inflight service you could imagine. We could only eat and drink what we brought along, but not once did he complain. Being newly married, he never kicked up when I asked him to bring a suitcase because we were going to the bush for a while. During the flights, we spent much of our time discussing the reasons for the trip. When we landed, I was always full bottle on the issues and where we stood on the issues. David was a great electorate officer for me. He had had a similar role in federal politics, and I was the one who gained from all his experience. He will always be a good friend. My family know that I was never put on this earth to be a good father or a papa or a brother or even a husband. My role was as a worker and provider.
