    2356 [COUNCIL - Thursday, 26 May 2005] ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Motion Resumed from 25 May. THE PRESIDENT: Before I give the call to Hon Donna Taylor, I wish to point out two matters. Firstly, this is the honourable member’s inaugural speech; therefore, in accordance with our customs, members will not interject. Secondly, I draw to the attention of the house the fact that in the public gallery is Hon Chris Ellison, who is not only a senator for Western Australia but also a minister in the federal government. HON DONNA TAYLOR (East Metropolitan) [12.14 pm]: I convey my congratulations to Hon Nick Griffiths on his election as President and Hon George Cash on his re-election as Chairman of Committees. I stand today in this house as one of two new Liberal members for the East Metropolitan Region. I am deeply conscious of the honour and privilege that has been granted to me by members of this community. I acknowledge my direct predecessor, Hon Derrick Tomlinson, who, with great distinction, served this Parliament and the Western Australian community since 1989. His eloquence, good humour and commitment to the East Metropolitan Region will certainly be missed and I place on record my personal thanks for his support and encouragement of me. The East Metropolitan Region is as vast as it is unique. It is the largest of the three metropolitan regions and comprises the two largest metropolitan Legislative Assembly districts of Serpentine-Jarrahdale and Swan Hills. I pause to congratulate the member for Serpentine-Jarrahdale on his recent election. The East Metropolitan Region encompasses, among many others, the towns of Bullsbrook, Gidgegannup, Chidlow, Bassendean and Midland; the Cities of Armadale, Gosnells, Belmont and Swan; the Shires of Kalamunda and Mundaring; and the historic towns of Guildford and Jarrahdale.

WA Labor’s submission proposes changes to the redrawing of a number of divisions on this basis. WA Labor’s submission seeks to minimise the movement of as many electors from one division to another as possible. Our proposed changes focus on areas where elector numbers vary most from required quotas, and on better aligning communities of interest as far as is necessary to accommodate a reduction in the number of divisions. Redrawing of divisions in the north metropolitan area is required for those divisions to meet quota requirements. The divisions of Cowan, Curtin, Perth, Moore and Stirling are all below quota and have low growth projections. In the east metropolitan area, the Division of Pearce has the highest variation from quota as well as the highest growth projections, while the Division of Hasluck falls below quota.

  • 4.2 GEOGRAPHICAL CATEGORIES There Are a Number of Ways of Approaching a Geographical Analysis
    COU NTI NG T HE H OMEL ES S 20 06 4.2 GEOGRAPHICAL CATEGORIES There are a number of ways of approaching a geographical analysis. The Australian Bureau of Statistics uses the Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) for the collection and dissemination of geographically organised statistics (ABS 2006c). The ASGC provides seven interrelated classification structures which are designed for different practical purposes. This report uses the ‘Main Structure’ which covers the whole of Australia without gaps or overlaps. The Main Structure comprises five hierarchical levels: census districts, statistical local areas, statistical subdivisions, statistical divisions, and states and territories. This analysis uses statistical divisions and statistical subdivisions as the main geographical categories, because patterns can be identified more easily if larger geographical categories are used. In each state and territory, the capital city is treated as a statistical division which includes the greater metropolitan area and any anticipated growth corridors for at least the next 20 years. The statistical division ‘represents the city in a wider sense’ (ABS 2006c, p. 15). Statistical divisions outside of the capital cities are ‘relatively homogeneous region(s) characterised by identifiable … links between the inhabitants and between the economic units within the region, under the unifying influence of one or more major towns or cities’ (ABS 2006c, p. 15). Western Australia is divided into nine statistical divisions (excluding off- shore and migratory). They are Perth, South West, Lower Great Southern, Upper Great Southern, Midlands, South Eastern, Central, Pilbara and Kimberley. The nine statistical divisions are divided into 28 subdivisions. Statistical subdivisions are defined as ‘socially and economically homogeneous regions characterised by identifiable links between the inhabitants’ (ABS 2006c, p.
