The one-vote one-value redistribution has left it relatively unscathed: Upper house region: East Metropolitan Maida Vale and Gooseberry Hill in the south have been detached to Forrestfield and Federal divisions: Hasluck/Pearce Kalamunda respectively, with Kalamunda also gaining Darlington in the east. The initial redistribution proposal had Guildford going to Belmont, but this was revised along with a corresponding reduction in the size of the Darlington transfer. The changes have effected a 1.2 per cent increase in the Labor margin. Midland has been held by Labor's Michelle Roberts since its creation at the 1996 MICHELLE ROBERTS Labor (top) election. Roberts had entered parliament two years earlier at a by-election for the inner northern suburbs seat of Glendalough, held when Carmen Lawrence vacated TO BE ANNOUNCED the seat to enter federal politics. The Midland area had earlier been covered by the Liberal electorates of Swan and then Helena, both held for Labor by Gordon Hill. When Hill resigned mid-term in 1994, the Helena by-election was won for the Liberals by the narrowly unsuccessful candidate at the 1993 election, Rhonda Parker, who went on to successfully contest the new seat of Ballajura in 1996. Roberts meanwhile quickly made her way to the front bench, holding the police portfolio first in opposition and then as minister, and further acquired justice in June 2003.

  • Images of Women in Western Australian Politics: the Suffragist, Edith Cowan and Carmen Lawrence
    Images of Women in Western Australian Politics: The Suffragist, Edith Cowan and Carmen Lawrence Dr. Joan Eveline Dept of Organisational and Labour Studies University ofWestern Australia and Dr Michael Booth Institute for Science and Technology Policy Murdoch University Paper delivered to Women's Worlds 99: 7th International Congress of Women's Research, Tromso, Norway, June 22, 1999 2 Images of Women in Western Australian Politics: The Suffragist, Edith Cowan and Carmen Lawrence Introduction 'Politics', claimed Carmen Lawrence in March, 1995, 'is a world in which you can easilybecome a caricature of yourself." In her own case, Lawrence's words were to prove prophetic. During the rest of 1995, only French nuclear testing and Bosnia rated more attention from the Australian press than the problems of this erstwhile state Premier and federal politician, and she was talkback radio's most popular topic for the year.' Although Carmen Lawrence does not specify gender as a significant aspect of the 'caricature effect', we do. Our paper explores the gender dimension in the 'public' construction and consumption of political figures, using the evidence ofpress and parliamentarycomment. Our focus is the portrayal of women in West Australian politics. In 1999, the state of Western Australia is celebrating the centenary of women's suffrage, and this paper is in part a response to those celebrations. Western Australia was second only to South Australia in granting women the vote, at a time when Australia and New Zealand were seen as leading the world in responding to demands for female suffrage. Out of a century of women's struggles we compare three figures, each of whose political participation has been represented as a breakthrough for women.

  • Premiers of WA September 2016
    PARLIAMENTARY LIBRARY OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA History Notes: Premiers of WA September 2016. Updated March 2017 Premiers of WA Big John Forrest: First Premier of Western Australia Sir John Forrest was a surveyor, explorer and Western Australia’s first Premier. He was born near Bunbury, Western Australia on 22 August 1847, the fourth child of William and Margaret Forrest. His father was a Scottish miller who migrated to Western Australia in 1842. He was educated at a government school in Picton, near Bunbury and later Bishop Hale’s School in Perth. In 1863 he was apprenticed to TC Carey, Government Surveyor in Bunbury and by 1865 he was appointed as a Government Surveyor. At 21 years, John Forrest and his brother, Alexander Forrest as deputy, led an expedition around Lake Barlee and Lake Moore, WA to search for the remains of missing explorer, Leichhardt. In 1876 he was appointed Deputy Surveyor General. In the same year he married Margaret Elvire Hamersley, a member of Perth’s elite, at St George’s Cathedral in Perth. In January 1883, Forrest became Surveyor General and Commissioner of Crown Lands with a seat in the Legislative and Executive Councils. Forrest was ‘Premier’ and Colonial Treasurer from 29 December 1890 to 14 February 1901.

  • Three, Four, Five Civil Liberties Groups Emerge in WA
    Chapter 8 – Western Australia Three, four, five civil liberties groups emerge in WA The first mention of a civil liberties body in Perth came in an article in a local daily newspaper in September 1936: “The establishment of a Council of Civil Liberties in Perth was advocated yesterday by Mr. C. Bader (sic), readers’ counsellor under the adult education scheme of the University of Western Australia. Mr. Badger made the suggestion when discussing the action of the Customs Department in seizing 17 books from the Perth Literary Institute last week. “In view of the general tendency to interfere with the free circulation of books, and especially the tendency of the Federal Government to devolve its powers to irresponsible departments, said Mr. Badger, one felt there was a great need for a body in Perth affiliated to or parallel with the Council of Civil Liberties in Melbourne. This council, in its own way, was a development of the Council for Civil Liberties in England, whose president was Mr. E. W. Forster, the author of ‘Passage to India’. “It was a saddening fact that the battle for liberty, which people were apt to regard as having been won for them by their ancestors, had to be fought anew in each generation. “Despite the ample powers which governments had to suppress overt sedition and treachery, continued Mr. Badger, democratic governments still found it necessary to pass Acts like the Crimes Act, which were contrary to the whole tradition of British law and justice.” 1 Badger (photo), then just starting his career, went on to become the first Director of the Council of Adult Education in Victoria, a position he held until 1971.

  • Response to a Path Forward: Developing the Western Australian Government’S Aboriginal Empowerment Strategy
    PO Box 7065 Cloisters Square WA 6850 (08) 9211 7681 www.cacwa.org.au [email protected] 27 February 2020 RESPONSE TO A PATH FORWARD: DEVELOPING THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT’S ABORIGINAL EMPOWERMENT STRATEGY Thank you for the opportunity to submit comment on the Western Australian Government’s Aboriginal Empowerment Strategy. The Chamber of Arts and Culture WA is the State’s representative arts and culture body, providing an independent, unified voice for the sector in Western Australia. It has a membership of approximately 250 organisations and individuals including a number of Aboriginal arts and culture companies. These include Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company, Kimberley Aboriginal Law and Cultural Centre, Aboriginal Arts Centre Hub WA, Ochre Dance Company, Magabala Books and Madjitil Moorna Inc. We also have a number of collecting institutions, community or individual members involved in the delivery of Aboriginal arts programmes. We commend the whole of government approach and attempt to create a strategy that recognises the interrelated nature of many issues. We appreciate that this document attempts to set in place a set of principles and guiding framework that can be used consistently across different areas of government. As such, one of the most important things about this document is that it signals a new approach and a new set of processes that will guide the working methodology This will require a significant shift within the culture and systems of the organisations tasked with realising this strategy, if it is to be successfully realised. This challenge – to build understanding and respect for Indigenous cultures across the whole of our society is a key starting point.
