  • WHEELCHAIR SPORTS WA ASSOCIATION Stat
    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL — Tuesday, 6 August 2013] p2572b-2573a Hon Ken Travers WHEELCHAIR SPORTS WA ASSOCIATION Statement HON KEN TRAVERS (North Metropolitan) [9.51 pm]: Earlier tonight a number of members made reference to the competition on the weekend between Liberal and Labor members at the Wheelchair Sports WA Association. It is worth formally acknowledging in the house that competition, which Wheelchair Sports has been keen to see occur. Wheelchair Sports was very happy with the way the competition turned out on the day. It did not hurt that the National Disability Insurance Scheme was agreed to at the same time. Western Australia has some of the premier wheelchair basketball players. The Perth Wheelcats team is absolutely the best sporting franchise in Western Australia. I long ago gave up on Australian Football League code–based teams and a number of other sporting groups. I still have a great soft spot for West Coast Fever, but our Perth Wheelcats team won five premierships in a row. The team has not won for the past couple of years partly because a number of players have been playing overseas or have injuries as a result of competing in the Olympic Games. However, after the excellent display of wheelchair basketball put on by members of this house and the other place, we were followed by a starting five that included at least three players who have been rated at various times the world’s best wheelchair basketballers. All five of the starting five who replaced us on the court have played for their national team.
