Mark McGowan MLA Premier of Western Australia; WA Minister for Public Sector; State Development; Jobs and Trade; Federal- State Relations Twitter: @MarkMcGowanMP Premier Mark McGowan believes in the value of hard work and merit but very much supported by the values of equality, opportunity and compassion. He learned these values early, growing up in regional New South Wales. When Mark first moved West, he was struck by the magnificent climate, the unique natural environment and the opportunity that Western Australia provided to its people. He benefited from those opportunities and was determined to give something back to the home that had given him so much. Mark had an ambition to do what he could to make his local community, and Western Australia, a better place to live for all WA families. This led to his work in local and state government. Mark was the Deputy Mayor of Rockingham before winning the State seat of Rockingham in December 1996. He was Parliamentary Secretary to former Premier Geoff Gallop and has served as a Minister in the portfolios of Education and Training; Environment; Racing and Gaming; Tourism and South West. As the Minister for Racing and Gaming, Mark drove the small bar reforms which have liberalised Perth's entertainment scene. It could be argued that this policy

  • 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.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 17 February 2016] p336a-352a Mr Mark McGowan; Mr Ben Wyatt; Mr Sean L'Estrange; Ms Rita Saffioti; Mr Frank Alban; Mr Bill Johnston PREMIER’S STATEMENT Consideration Resumed from 16 February on the following question — That the Premier’s Statement be noted. MR M. McGOWAN (Rockingham — Leader of the Opposition) [12.20 pm]: I rise to speak on the Premier’s Statement. The year 2016 marks the final year before the state election. It is a crucial year for Western Australia. Western Australia is at the crossroads. Our state needs change; it needs a change of direction and Western Australians know it. Western Australia is crying out for a change from the management that this government has provided this state. Our state needs a new government. It needs new ideas and it needs a new direction. We need to get rid of our tired, old government—a government that has created an enormous mess in Western Australia. We need a competent, responsible and honest government in Western Australia. We need a government with a vision for the future—the long-term future of Western Australia—and a team that is prepared to hang in there for the long haul. WA Labor has a team that is ready to govern. I love this state. It has provided me with opportunities beyond my wildest imaginings. I may have come from somewhere else, but I have lived the majority of my life in Western Australia. This is a state of resilient, decent and hardworking people with good values of honesty, compassion and decency.

  • Greyhounds - Namely That Similar to the Recent Changes in ACT, Victoria and NSW
    From: Subject: I support an end to compulsory greyhound muzzling Date: Saturday, 3 August 2019 7:24:06 AM Dear Reece Whitby MP, cc: Cat and Dog statutory review I would like to express my support for the complete removal of the section 33(1) of the Dog Act 1976 in relation to companion pet greyhounds - namely that similar to the recent changes in ACT, Victoria and NSW. I believe companion greyhounds should be allowed to go muzzle free in public without the requirement to complete a training programme. I support the removal of this law for companion pet greyhounds for the following reasons: 1. Greyhounds are kept as pets in countries all over the world muzzle free and there has been no increased incidence of greyhound dog bites to people, other dogs or animals 2. The RSPCA have found no evidence to suggest that greyhounds as a breed pose any greater risk than other dog breeds 3. Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania are the only Australian states still with this law. All other states (VIC, NSW, QLD, ACT, NT) have removed this law 4. The view supported by veterinary behaviourists is that the behaviour of a particular dog should be based on that individual dogs attributes not its breed 5. As a breed, greyhounds are known for their generally friendly and gentle disposition, even despite their upbringing in the racing industry 6. Muzzling contributes to unwarranted negative public perceptions about greyhounds and their suitability as pets, impacting adoption opportunities 7. There is no evidence that shows that Breed Specific Legislation such as greyhounds wearing muzzles is effective in preventing or reducing dog attacks 8.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 18 October 2011] p8186c-8206a Mr Mark McGowan; Mr Bill Johnston; Mr Ben Wyatt; Mr Chris Tallentire; Ms Janine Freeman; Mr Bill Marmion PETROLEUM AND GEOTHERMAL ENERGY SAFETY LEVIES BILL 2011 PETROLEUM AND GEOTHERMAL ENERGY SAFETY LEVIES AMENDMENT BILL 2011 Cognate Debate Leave granted for the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Bill 2011 and the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Amendment Bill 2011 to be considered cognately, and for the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Bill 2011 to be the principal bill. Second Reading — Cognate Debate Resumed from 21 September. MR M. McGOWAN (Rockingham) [4.20 pm]: I rise as the lead speaker for the opposition on the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Bill 2011 and the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Safety Levies Amendment Bill 2011. I note at the outset that the Minister for Environment is handling these bills. Considering that the Premier is the Minister for State Development, I would have thought that it would be more appropriate for him to handle these pieces of legislation for the petroleum and geothermal energy industries. Given his role in this state and his position, I would have thought he would come into the chamber and handle this legislation. I thought that the Premier might have been slightly more knowledgeable than the Minister for Environment on the subject. Be that as it may, we will deal with the “B Team” when it comes to this — Mr B.S. Wyatt: “B”? About “Z”! Mr M. McGOWAN: When it comes to this legislation, we will deal with the “B Team” in the person of the Minister for Environment.

It is both an honour and a privilege to be elected to the thirty-ninth Parliament as a Labor member for the East Metropolitan Region. The East Metropolitan Region is an exciting area to represent.

It takes in Perth Airport, Ascot Racecourse and the tourist attraction of the Swan Valley. I would like to acknowledge and congratulate my Labor colleagues in the East Metropolitan Region, Hon Alanna Clohesy and Hon Amber-Jade Sanderson, whom I look forward to working closely with over the next four years. And may I congratulate all new members in this place tonight. The process and procedures of Parliament can seem daunting at first, but I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Mr President, the Clerks, the staff at Parliament and the government Whip for making the new members feel welcome and ensuring our transition is as smooth as possible. I appreciate the professionalism that has been extended to me, and as the Whip for the opposition, I look forward to having a strong working relationship with all of you in the chamber.
