Lance McMahon is a Research Associate at the John Curtin Institute of Public Policy, Curtin University. 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.

  • Diversity in Leadership
    Official publication of Wells Haslem Mayhew THE Official publication of Wells Haslem Mayhew I S S U E 9 Autumn 2017 DIVERSITY IN LEADERSHIP A very important shift... A good move for the company, a great move for our clients Welcome to the first edition of Wells Haslem’s magazine, The Shell for 2017 – our Autumn edition. Wells Haslem Mayhew: Leadership change All the members of the Wells Haslem team are working John Wells, Chairman on a range of new and exciting projects. A very important shift has taken place at Wells Haslem and is the subject of this edition. For a long time I have thought that the range and diversity of the work within the company required a subtle change in our leadership. While Ben has done a great job in helping guide the company to success over our initial five years, Alexandra has played no small part in its initial success. Therefore the three partners have agreed that Alexandra will become joint CEO with Ben. I will remain chairman and continue to work full time with the rest of the team. Alexandra’s elevation is a good move for the company, it’s a great move for our clients and demonstrates that we reward ability and commitment. Alexandra, along with Ben and I have helped grow the business to the point it is now, and even more importantly, has built strong and enduring client relationships. Along with Alexandra’s elevation to a management role, we will also make a slight change to the name to reflect her position as joint CEO.

    Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Wednesday, 12 August 2020] p4793c-4801a Mrs Liza Harvey; Ms Mia Davies; Mr Bill Marmion; Mr Peter Katsambanis IRON ORE PROCESSING (MINERALOGY PTY. LTD.) AGREEMENT AMENDMENT BILL 2020 Second Reading Resumed from an earlier stage of the sitting. MRS L.M. HARVEY (Scarborough — Leader of the Opposition) [2.56 pm]: I rise to continue my remarks about this amending legislation. I put on the record once again that the position of the Liberal Party room was a consensus position to not oppose this legislation. I would like to get on the record that we do not support the actions of Clive Palmer, which is why we are not opposing this legislation. During question time, I asked the Premier whether he would support a short sharp committee inquiry. It is ridiculous to say that the suggestion of a committee inquiry or that contentious legislation go to a committee to potentially strengthen it is in any way, shape or form showing that the legislation is not supported. That is ridiculous. The amending legislation in front of us is backdated to have effect from 11 August. It was read in just after 5.00 pm yesterday so that Mr Palmer and his lawyers could not get wind of it and could not lodge a writ in court. It needed to be read in yesterday after that opportunity had lapsed. The legislation is backdated to be effective from yesterday, 11 August 2020, at around about 5.00 pm. Should the upper house choose to send it to a committee to potentially strengthen it and ward off a potential High Court challenge, it could be done and dusted by 15 September.

Main dish: Alaskan GM salmon marinated in Western Australian RR GM canola honey and Dow 2,4-D soybean mix rolled in CSIRO GM wheatflour batter & pan-fried in Queensland BT Bollgard3 cottonseed oil.

Salad of GM alfalfa with cauliflower mosaic virus and diced flavr-savr tomatoes tossed in a generous dressing of GM canola seeded mustard and honey. Complementary Argentinean GM wheat bread roll with a curl of American rBGH butter. Drinks: Murdoch Professor’s Safer-Than-Coffee or Safer-Than-Salt Roundup. Dessert: GM arctic apple crumble. Notes: 1. The Golden Rice, GM potato and GM apple are the variety promoted by Nationals MP Hon Paul Brown in the WA Legislative Council motion on Genetically Modified Crops 17 September 2015 2. Please check with FSANZ & APVMA to ensure the recipe is: (i) Substantially equivalent to using conventional ingredients, (ii) Within the Recommended Daily Allowance of Glyphosate, 2,4-D, Glufosinate Ammonium and Bacillus Thuringiensis, (iii) Suitable for children, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, the elderly and those with cancer.

  • ANZSOG Case Program Off the Hook: Western Australia’S Shark Cull (A) 2015-171.1
    ANZSOG Case Program Off the hook: Western Australia’s shark cull (A) 2015-171.1 For Bryn Martin 10 October 2011 began, like most other days, in the sparkling waters of Cottesloe. The sixty-four year old swam out to a pylon about 400 metres from shore, just as he had done for more than a decade. In one direction, the Indian Ocean stretched uninterrupted to the horizon; in the other, locals and visitors were busy enjoying Perth’s most popular beach. Amongst those on shore were Martin’s wife and family. When he failed to arrive for breakfast as planned, they immediately suspected something was amiss. After more than an hour scanning the area, his wife reported him missing to emergency services. No trace of Bryn Martin could be found, save for a pair of slashed swimming trunks. Witnesses recalled seeing some splashing and a large shadowy shape near where he disappeared. The Western Australian coroner later heard that the damage to his bathing suit was consistent with a shark attack, most likely, a great white. The incident left local residents and the wider community shaken. Cottesloe was where Ken Crew bled to death on the sand after being attacked by a shark in waist-deep water. Onlookers likened the 2000 incident to a scene from the film Jaws and the government issued an immediate but unsuccessful catch-and-kill order.1 Meanwhile, less than a month prior to Martin’s disappearance, twenty-one year old Kyle Burden was attacked by a shark whilst body-boarding in the Margaret River region.
