  • A Police Whistleblower in a Corrupt Political System
    A police whistleblower in a corrupt political system Frank Scott Both major political parties in West Australia espouse open and accountable government when they are in opposition, however once their side of politics is able to form Government, the only thing that changes is that they move to the opposite side of the Chamber and their roles are merely reversed. The opposition loves the whistleblower while the government of the day loathes them. It was therefore refreshing to see that in 2001 when the newly appointed Attorney General in the Labor government, Mr Jim McGinty, promised that his Government would introduce whistleblower protection legislation by the end of that year. He stated that his legislation would protect those whistleblowers who suffered victimization and would offer some provisions to allow them to seek compensation. How shallow those words were; here we are some sixteen years later and yet no such legislation has been introduced. Below I have written about the effects I suffered from trying to expose corrupt senior police officers and the trauma and victimization I suffered which led to the loss of my livelihood. Whilst my efforts to expose corrupt police officers made me totally unemployable, those senior officers who were subject of my allegations were promoted and in two cases were awarded with an Australian Police Medal. I describe my experiences in the following pages in the form of a letter to West Australian parliamentarian Rob Johnson.

    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL - Wednesday, 28 November 2001] p5953b-5960a Hon Peter Foss; Hon Frank Hough ELECTORAL AMENDMENT BILL 2001 Second Reading Resumed from 26 September. HON PETER FOSS (East Metropolitan) [4.10 pm]: It is fortuitous that you read that statement and the letter from the Clerk of the House, Mr President, because I intended to commence my speech by raising an entirely different reason that the Bill requires an absolute majority - one that was not canvassed by the Standing Committee on Legislation. It is important that you are here because I believe that you have no alternative but to rule at the second reading stage. As you are aware, Mr President, two items are on the Notice Paper: the Electoral Amendment Bill 2001 and the Electoral Distribution Repeal Bill 2001. It has sometimes struck people as curious that two Bills are on the Notice Paper. We suspected that that was to circumvent the requirements of the Electoral Distribution Act. I suggest that the introduction of these two Bills has become a complete mess-up, but a stronger phrase than mess-up would be appropriate and I will explain why. They are two separate Bills. There is nothing to say that either of them will be passed into law. You must deal only with the Electoral Amendment Bill 2001, Mr President, not the Electoral Distribution Repeal Bill. The amending Bill makes no reference whatsoever to the Electoral Distribution Act. It happens to deal with exactly the same measures as the other Bill; therefore, this Bill operates one way or another to affect the Electoral Distribution Act.

  • Legislative Assembly
    Legislative Assembly Thursday, 20 October 2011 THE SPEAKER (Mr G.A. Woodhams) took the chair at 9.00 am, and read prayers. CLARKSON POLICE STATION — POLICE NUMBERS Petition MR J.R. QUIGLEY (Mindarie) [9.01 am]: I have a petition signed by 1 447 constituents of the electorate of Mindarie, which has been certified by the Clerk as conforming with the standing orders of the Assembly. It reads — To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Parliament of Western Australia in Parliament assembled. We, the undersigned, say that over the last month the number of gang assaults in Clarkson provides clear evidence that the government has failed to provide sufficient police numbers to the Clarkson Police Station to get on top of gang violence in our electorate. Now we ask the Legislative Assembly: That the Clarkson Police station be urgently assigned a significant increase in police numbers so as to provide for 7 days a week 24 hour policing and for the police station to remain open at least until 1 hour after closing time of the Whale and Ale Tavern in Clarkson and the Cornerstone Tavern in Butler. It is evidently clear that alcohol is playing a significant part in the attacks and the Clarkson Police Station must remain open until 1 hour after the closing time of the Whale and Ale Tavern in Clarkson and the Cornerstone Tavern in Butler. If the Minister for Police fails to ensure both an increase in police numbers in Clarkson and to ensure that the police station remains open until 1 hour after closing time of these two taverns, then the Minister for Police and the Government is failing to protect our local community from violence.

  • V-3-APR NOV 08 KERR PHILIPS WA Parliamentary Chronicle 10 …
    Western Australia Parliamentary Chronicle July 2007 to August 2008 Liz Kerr and Harry Phillips * The last fourteen months of the 37 th Parliament in Western Australia was marked by a level of controversy and the announcement of an early election to be held on 6 September 2008. Highlights included the findings of a number of parliamentary committees, the reports of the Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC) with some of its recommendations being questioned by the Parliamentary Inspector of the CCC. Once again the lobbying activities of former Labor Premier Brian Burke and Minister Julian Grill, together with former Liberal Party Senator Noel Crichton- Browne featured in the controversy, and in the 12 months to August 2008 there were three changes of leadership in the Opposition Liberal Party, as the party suffered from internal divisions and indiscretions. Meanwhile the State’s booming economy, which provided excellent indices in terms of growth, employment and investment, led observers to believe that the incumbent Labor Government would be returned to office. The major ‘one vote one value’ redistribution in 2007 contributed to this view as it gave more seats to metropolitan Perth in the Legislative Assembly which appeared to make it difficult for the Liberal and Nationals, historically the stronger parties in the country regions. The redistribution, however, gave rise to further tensions within the parties over pre-selections, leading to a spate of resignations and an increase in independent members, whose numbers had swelled from two to seven since the February 2005 election. A serious gas explosion on the North West shelf in early June 2008, high international oil prices and a bear stock market combined to further change the economic and political climate.

  • Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: the Loophole Exposing Western Australia’S Parliament JACINTA WRIGHT*
    J Wright Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Sexual Harassment in the Workplace: The Loophole Exposing Western Australia’s Parliament JACINTA WRIGHT* Sexual harassment remains a serious problem in Australian workplaces. Recent statistics gathered by the Australian Human Rights Commission indicate that workplace sexual harassment is rarely a one-off incident and can have a significant impact on an employee’s productivity and emotional wellbeing. Employees can also feel as though they are being victimized and deserted by their friends and colleagues. Despite awareness of the negative impacts caused by sexual harassment, Australia’s Federal, State and Territory legislation concerning sexual harassment remains largely inadequate. At best, sexual harassment is prohibited between certain workplace participants and in certain employment situations. At worst, in some employment situations it is not regulated at all. For example, an alleged incident of sexual harassment involving a Western Australian Member of Parliament helped expose a significant loophole in Western Australia’s Equal Opportunity Act 1984. This loophole omits parliamentary staff from the operation and protection of workplace sexual harassment legislation. This is a serious legislative oversight. The introduction of the Equal Opportunity (Members of Parliament) Amendment Bill 2010 (WA) has again brought this issue into the public spotlight. This paper argues that while the Equal Opportunity (Members of Parliament) Amendment Bill 2010 goes some way toward addressing the issue of
