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.

  • Economics Royalties for Regions
    ECONOMICS ROYALTIES FOR REGIONS: ACCOUNTABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY by Michael McLure Business School The University of Western Australia DISCUSSION PAPER 09.05 Royalties for Regions: accountability and sustainability Michael McLure*1 The University of Western Australia To determine whether the Western Australian (WA) Government’s ‘royalties for regions’ policy will enhance economic welfare it is necessary to: know the net fiscal transfer that the community wants the State Government to provide between Perth and regional WA; and determine whether the royalties for regions policy brings the Government closer to, or further away from, that goal. In recognition of this, it is recommended that the State’s public accounts be complemented by a new budget paper that reports on public finances for ‘Perth’ and the ‘Regions’ separately, which will improve government accountability, and classifies mineral royalties as ‘capital’ revenues, which will enhance sustainability provided these capital revenues are hypothecated for expenditure on capital projects. In the lead up to the Western Australian (WA) election held on Saturday, 6 September 2008, the State’s National Party, under the leadership of Brendon Grylls, campaigned as an independent political party. The National Party’s election platform centred on its ‘royalties for regions’ proposal under which 25 percent of the State’s royalties would be paid into a special fund each year and hypothecated for expenditure on regional investment. One outcome of the election was that the National Party acquired the balance of power in the WA’s Legislative Assembly. After negotiations with both major political parties, the National Party entered into a power sharing arrangement with the Liberal Party, which facilitated the appointment of the Liberal’s Colin Barnett as the Premier of WA.

In his inaugural speech in 2001, having been elected to the Parliament in a by-election to represent the electorate of Merredin, the honourable member made the following comments — As the new member for Merredin, I represent not only the 43 per cent of the electorate who put a one next to my name on polling day; I represent every single person in my electorate, and I will fight for the advancement of every person in this great State. I will represent my most ardent opponents with the same passion as my strongest supporters.
