  • 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.

  • COLIN BARNETT I'm Just Going to Say Something
    COLIN BARNETT I’m just going to say something about lead and then any questions on that. Okay, everyone right? Okay, the pollution of lead in Esperance over the years 2005-2007 has been one of the worst environmental accidents in this State’s history. A very serious situation, one that occurred during the time of the previous government – I don’t apportion blame, but I think dealing with the issue was slow. I visited Esperance about four weeks ago and met with community people; there’s been on-going meetings within Government between community representatives, the Port of Esperance, the mining industry and other parts of Government. Today I’ve provided an update on exactly where the issue of the lead contamination in Esperance is at. First point relates to the removal of the lead itself. Two years on, or nearly two years on, there is still 9,000 tonnes of lead carbonate stored at the Port of Esperance. That will be removed and the removal will start early in the new year. What will be involved – we’ll be placing that lead into bags that will be sealed and then placed inside shipping containers. We are talking about some 300 containers. It will then be removed in three separate shipments out of the Port of Esperance as a container lot. It’s estimated that the… all of the lead will be removed by the end of March next year, so that will be a significant operation, and I thank not only the Port of Esperance, but the mining and shipping and transport groups for working with Government to ensure that that is removed and removed under stringent conditions and safely.

June 2014 1 MOVING BEYOND 100 YEARS: THE ‘WA APPROACH’ TO NATIONAL PARTY SURVIVAL Abstract Since its formation in 1913, the Western Australian branch of the National Party has faced many challenges to its survival. Electoral reform removing rural malapportionment in 2005 prompted changes in strategic direction, including abandoning coalition with the Liberal Party and creating a discrete image, branding and policy approach. Holding the balance of power after the 2008 election, the Party adopted a post-election bargaining strategy to secure Ministries and funding for its ‘Royalties for Regions’ policy. This ‘WA approach’ is distinctive from amalgamation and coalition arrangements embraced elsewhere in Australia.

  • NA TION a L PL a N to Including the First Three-Year Action Plan
    NA TION A L PL A N TO Including the first three-year Action Plan Foreword One in three Australian women have experienced physical violence since the age of 15. Almost one in five have experienced sexual violence. It is time for that to change. The National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children 2010-2022 (the National Plan) brings together the efforts of governments across the nation to make a real and sustained reduction in the levels of violence against women. It is the first plan to coordinate action across jurisdictions. It is the first to focus strongly on prevention. It is the first to look to the long term, building respectful relationships and working to increase gender equality to prevent violence from occurring in the first place. It is the first to focus on holding perpetrators accountable and encourage behaviour change. The National Plan sets out a framework for action over the next 12 years. This plan shows Australia’s commitments to upholding the human rights of Australian women through the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Declaration to End Violence Against Women and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. The National Plan has been built from an evidence base of new research and extensive consultation with experts and the community. The National Plan will be implemented through four three-year plans, with the “First Action Plan: Building Strong Foundations” for 2010–2013 published in this plan. It seeks six national outcomes through the implementation of a wide range of strategies.

  • The Poll Bludger - Australian State and Federal Elections Page 1 of 2
    The Poll Bludger - Australian State and Federal Elections Page 1 of 2 THE POLL BLUDGER Western Australian Legislative Assembly Election 2008 Located 15 kilometres east of the city, the electorate of Midland extends from MIDLAND Guildford east through Midland itself to the newer suburbs of Stratton and Labor 9.7% Koongamia. The one-vote one-value redistribution has left it relatively unscathed: Upper house region: East Metropolitan Maida Vale and Gooseberry Hill in the south have been detached to Forrestfield and Federal divisions: Hasluck/Pearce Kalamunda respectively, with Kalamunda also gaining Darlington in the east. The initial redistribution proposal had Guildford going to Belmont, but this was revised along with a corresponding reduction in the size of the Darlington transfer. The changes have effected a 1.2 per cent increase in the Labor margin. Midland has been held by Labor's Michelle Roberts since its creation at the 1996 MICHELLE ROBERTS Labor (top) election. Roberts had entered parliament two years earlier at a by-election for the inner northern suburbs seat of Glendalough, held when Carmen Lawrence vacated TO BE ANNOUNCED the seat to enter federal politics. The Midland area had earlier been covered by the Liberal electorates of Swan and then Helena, both held for Labor by Gordon Hill. When Hill resigned mid-term in 1994, the Helena by-election was won for the Liberals by the narrowly unsuccessful candidate at the 1993 election, Rhonda Parker, who went on to successfully contest the new seat of Ballajura in 1996. Roberts meanwhile quickly made her way to the front bench, holding the police portfolio first in opposition and then as minister, and further acquired justice in June 2003.

  • Images of Women in Western Australian Politics: the Suffragist, Edith Cowan and Carmen Lawrence
    Images of Women in Western Australian Politics: The Suffragist, Edith Cowan and Carmen Lawrence Dr. Joan Eveline Dept of Organisational and Labour Studies University ofWestern Australia and Dr Michael Booth Institute for Science and Technology Policy Murdoch University Paper delivered to Women's Worlds 99: 7th International Congress of Women's Research, Tromso, Norway, June 22, 1999 2 Images of Women in Western Australian Politics: The Suffragist, Edith Cowan and Carmen Lawrence Introduction 'Politics', claimed Carmen Lawrence in March, 1995, 'is a world in which you can easilybecome a caricature of yourself." In her own case, Lawrence's words were to prove prophetic. During the rest of 1995, only French nuclear testing and Bosnia rated more attention from the Australian press than the problems of this erstwhile state Premier and federal politician, and she was talkback radio's most popular topic for the year.' Although Carmen Lawrence does not specify gender as a significant aspect of the 'caricature effect', we do. Our paper explores the gender dimension in the 'public' construction and consumption of political figures, using the evidence ofpress and parliamentarycomment. Our focus is the portrayal of women in West Australian politics. In 1999, the state of Western Australia is celebrating the centenary of women's suffrage, and this paper is in part a response to those celebrations. Western Australia was second only to South Australia in granting women the vote, at a time when Australia and New Zealand were seen as leading the world in responding to demands for female suffrage. Out of a century of women's struggles we compare three figures, each of whose political participation has been represented as a breakthrough for women.
