For most of my life I have been surrounded by women. Most of my teachers and a fair few of my bosses have been women. These are women who know, and get, what they want. But for most women in WA, management is leadership can be a distant concept in their careers. We are the state with the largest and growing gender pay gap at over 25 per cent. Companies without women on their boards are more likely to be headquartered in Perth than any other city. The WA Government has only three women in 17 cabinet roles, and the Supreme Court has only three women out of 21 judges. On Wednesday, the Committee for Perth launched their Filling the Pool report, where lead researcher, Dr Terry Fitzsimmons, noted that gender diversity and equality made social and economic sense. "The data and evidence is there," he said. This was a call echoed by the Minister for Women's Interests, Liza Harvey, who said that for WA to continue to the lead the nation, we needed to invest and back diversity. Of the women interviewed by Dr Fitzsimmons, 90 per cent found that taking flexible work actually halted their career. And while managers say that direct discrimination is a "thing of the past", 50 per cent of the women who took part in the study could cite current experiences. These are neither new nor shocking realisations. WA business needs to ask how this can be changed ­ even when the process seems long and arduous. I am the first to admit that this journey won't be easy, but the Filling the Pool report is a road map. Given that a lot of the research around gender diversity can be Sydney and Melbourne centric, this report provides many answers for WA specifically. Perth can be a harsh city. It can be cliquey, complex and confined. In light of this, Perth­based managers and CEOs don't consider it a strategic priority, even though global businesses such as McKinsey, Goldman Sachs, PwC and many others have been telling us for more than a decade that it is. If the men who run corporate Perth want to change the game, build the economy, their businesses and support women, it's simple: they can. http://www.watoday.com.au/comment/filling­the­pool­wa­business­and­gender­diversity­20150604­ghgso2.html 1/3 1/18/2016 Filling the pool: WA business and gender diversity The interviewees all pointed to a lack of quality, affordable and accessible childcare. This is an undeniable impediment to supporting women's workforce participation. By recommending that organisations must consider this issue from the top, the duty lies with managers to think deeply about what they can do. Are they biased against women? Are they reaching diversity quotas? Are they acting in the best interests of their organisation? Resolving the childcare issue is paramount. With only one childcare centre in the CBD ­ at the bottom of Brookfield Place ­ and the next closest one in West Perth, we are at crisis point. The demand is high and the need is there. However, no woman, or person for that matter, wants to be a token to simply fill a quota. Just by being considered for a position already means certain requirement standards have been met. But a seat at the table is a seat nonetheless. By not using the talent of women in our city we all lose, this is a brain­drain of astronomical proportions. The flow­on effect is that not only do women fail to utilise their education in the workforce, the recruitment base for industry becomes significantly more shallow. We can hardly say that the best talent comes by disenfranchising 50 per cent of the population. If Colin Barnett, Mike Nahan, Mark McGowan and the WA business community wanted to pursue gender equality they would. It's a matter of will. I sincerely hope they will. We cannot sit on our hands anymore. Conrad Liveris is an advocate, adviser and researcher on the politics and economics of diversity.

    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.

HARVEY (Scarborough — Leader of the Opposition) [4.00 pm]: I move — That this house condemns the McGowan Labor government for its handling of the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and causing unnecessary economic harm, small business closures and job losses. At the outset, I have no quarrel with the way this government, in conjunction with the national cabinet, has handled the health crisis around COVID-19. The way that the state Premiers and the Prime Minister have come together, along with all the health ministers, to put in place measures, a strategy and a response around managing the COVID-19 health crisis has been handled well. I want to be very clear and put that on the record. I believe the lockdown was necessary at the start, because we did not understand what we were dealing with, we did not understand quite how virulent COVID-19 would be and we needed a national stocktake of our health system, its capacity and what was going to be required should we have outbreaks of COVID-19. I am glad the Minister for Health is in the chamber to hear this. I think that the health response has been very good. We are now in a very good position in Western Australia and we have had hundreds of nurses trained to step up into intensive care units should we have an outbreak and require additional ICU beds to open.

    PARLIAMENT OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA INAUGURAL SPEECH Mrs Liza Harvey MLA (Member for Scarborough) Address-in-Reply Debate Legislative Assembly Tuesday, 25 November 2008 Reprinted from Hansard Legislative Assembly Tuesday, 25 November 2008 ____________ Inaugural Speech Mrs Liza Harvey MLA (Member for Scarborough) ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Motion MRS L.M. HARVEY (Scarborough) [7.47 pm]: It is truly an honour and a privilege to stand in this place as the representative of the citizens of the Scarborough electorate. I begin by congratulating you, Mr Speaker, on your election to the office of Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. I wish you well and look forward to your advice and assistance as I navigate my way through the rules and regulations of this chamber. I begin my address to the Assembly tonight with thanks to the people of the electorate of Scarborough who have placed significant trust in me to act as their representative in this place. Throughout my 16 years as a resident and business owner in Scarborough, I have had the privilege of interacting with many members of the community on a daily basis through many different avenues. I will endeavour to represent them to the best of my ability. Although this was a new electorate in the last election, it has previously existed in varying forms as the district of Innaloo and also Scarborough. The current district has been formed out of the electoral districts of Churchlands and Carine, and both electorates, I am proud to say, were commendably served in the recent past by committed and dedicated female politicians, Dr Elizabeth Constable and Katie Hodson-Thomas, whose fine examples have set me an inspirational standard.
