QuestionView source ↗
I am delighted that the State has secured the items from the Freycinet collection on behalf of the people of Western Australia. Will the minister inform the House when these items will arrive in Western Australia and are likely to be exhibited? Ms S.M. McHALE
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for his question. As most members will know, the Government was able to secure seven items from the Freycinet collection. They were purchased on behalf of the State in late September at a total cost of $860 000. They are expected to arrive in Western Australia in December. Arrangements are under way for the packing and shipment of the items, most of which require an export licence because they have been in the United Kingdom for many years. That process of obtaining licences has taken several weeks and has therefore delayed the return of the items. Mr B.K. Masters: Have you thanked the various sponsors of that purchase? Ms S.M. McHALE: I will take that interjection. Last night I had a reception here at Parliament House for the donors who worked extremely well in partnership with the Government and the State Library custodians; therefore, I had the opportunity of thanking them in person. Mr B.K. Masters: Have you done it publicly, though? Mr C.J. Barnett: Did you invite the Opposition? Ms S.M. McHALE: Goodness me! Mr C.J. Barnett: You have no courtesy. You need a bit of etiquette. Dr G.I. Gallop: Minister, don’t worry too much. He says awful things about this side of the House, but can you imagine what he says about his own colleagues? Ms S.M. McHALE: I think it will probably be worse than crikey.com.au. I am sure that all members are interested in hearing the answer to this question because, as I have said in this House before, this work is of immense significance. The material will arrive in mid to late December. The State Library of Western Australia conservation staff will then determine the condition of each item and provide guidance on the length of time and under what environmental conditions the items can be displayed. The State Library has set up a team to plan for the exhibition, and my expectation is that we will open the exhibition in about January 2003. The seven items acquired by Western Australia include the first map of the Swan River, drawn in 1801, and the drawing of the encampment at Shark Bay, which shows Rose de Freycinet. I again thank the anonymous and known donors who made the acquisition possible. These include the educational publisher, the RIC Group, BHP Billiton Ltd, Mr Harold Clough, Wesfarmers Ltd, Woodside, Mr Kerry Stokes and the Petroleum Club of WA. I also thank the State Library and the custodians who coordinated the fundraising effort. This was a great partnership and has produced a wonderful outcome for the State and the people of Western Australia.

Ms S.M. McHALE: Goodness me! Mr C.J. Barnett: You have no courtesy. You need a bit of etiquette. Dr G.I. Gallop: Minister, don’t worry too much. He says awful things about this side of the House, but can you imagine what he says about his own colleagues? Ms S.M. McHALE: I think it will probably be worse than crikey.com.au. I am sure that all members are interested in hearing the answer to this question because, as I have said in this House before, this work is of immense significance. The material will arrive in mid to late December. The State Library of Western Australia conservation staff will then determine the condition of each item and provide guidance on the length of time and under what environmental conditions the items can be displayed. The State Library has set up a team to plan for the exhibition, and my expectation is that we will open the exhibition in about January 2003. The seven items acquired by Western Australia include the first map of the Swan River, drawn in 1801, and the drawing of the encampment at Shark Bay, which shows Rose de Freycinet. I again thank the anonymous and known donors who made the acquisition possible. These include the educational publisher, the RIC Group, BHP Billiton Ltd, Mr Harold Clough, Wesfarmers Ltd, Woodside, Mr Kerry Stokes and the Petroleum Club of WA. I also thank the State Library and the custodians who coordinated the fundraising effort. This was a great partnership and has produced a wonderful outcome for the State and the people of Western Australia.
