QuestionView source ↗
I would like to thank the Premier and his cabinet colleagues for visiting my electorate of Eyre last week. This is the second time that Cabinet en masse has been to the goldfields and the feedback, from my point of view, has been extremely positive. (1) Has the Premier received similar feedback from the other areas Cabinet has visited? (2) Will this program of cabinet visits continue this year? Dr G.I. GALLOP
AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(2) We are very proud of the fact that since we were elected to government in February 2001, we have visited Albany, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie and Bunbury in 2001 and Mandurah, Broome, Derby, Carnarvon, Wanneroo, Narrogin, Burrup and Southern River in 2002. This year we have visited Donnybrook, Collie, Joondalup, Rockingham, East Kimberley, Newman and Eyre and soon we will be visiting Roleystone and Armadale. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Members! Dr G.I. GALLOP: We are very proud of our community cabinet meetings. We have set a very high standard of governance in Western Australia for the people who live in our suburbs and in our rural and regional communities. I thank the member for Eyre for helping organise the visit we made last week to Norseman, Kambalda, Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie-Boulder. There is no doubt that when the Cabinet moves around the State of Western Australia, ministers are able to meet with all the local authorities, stakeholders, indigenous people and representatives of non-government associations in those communities. On each occasion we facilitate a proper question time so that the citizens of those communities can ask questions directly of the ministers who visit their communities. They have been very successful. The cabinet meeting in Eyre was held in that tradition. We had a chance to go to Norseman. We saw the development and optimism that exists in Kambalda. We were able to go to Coolgardie. There is no doubt that the Government of Western Australia should be doing these things, and I can guarantee that we will continue that tradition into the future. By the end of our first term of government, we will have had 24 community cabinet meetings. We will have another six next year. We are currently planning those meetings and they will occur throughout the State of Western Australia. There is no doubt that our commitment to rural and regional Western Australia is very strong. We have the regional investment fund, community cabinet meetings and regional investment tours. We are ensuring that when we consider capital works expenditure in Western Australia, the requirements of our regions to create new infrastructure for jobs and opportunities are being properly met. We believe that community cabinet meetings are not optional extras; they are part and parcel of what the Government should be doing in this era. We have certainly done that, and we will continue to do it into the future. I thank the member for Eyre for the work he is doing in his electorate and for assisting us - Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. Dr G.I. GALLOP: Liberal, National and Independent members are always invited to our community luncheons. Mr R.F. Johnson: You did not invite me. Dr G.I. GALLOP: I will check on that. I think the member for Warren-Blackwood, the National Party member and the member for Stirling will confirm that they have attended. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Members! Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: I call to order the member for Kalgoorlie, the member for Warren-Blackwood and, unfortunately, the member for Murray-Wellington. Dr G.I. GALLOP: Despite the cynicism of the Liberal Party on this matter, I assure the people of Western Australia that we will continue to project our Government into the community to ensure that the community can have a direct input into what is happening in Western Australia.

(1) Has the Premier received similar feedback from the other areas Cabinet has visited? (2) Will this program of cabinet visits continue this year? Dr G.I. GALLOP replied: (1)-(2) We are very proud of the fact that since we were elected to government in February 2001, we have visited Albany, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie and Bunbury in 2001 and Mandurah, Broome, Derby, Carnarvon, Wanneroo, Narrogin, Burrup and Southern River in 2002. This year we have visited Donnybrook, Collie, Joondalup, Rockingham, East Kimberley, Newman and Eyre and soon we will be visiting Roleystone and Armadale. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Members! Dr G.I. GALLOP: We are very proud of our community cabinet meetings. We have set a very high standard of governance in Western Australia for the people who live in our suburbs and in our rural and regional communities. I thank the member for Eyre for helping organise the visit we made last week to Norseman, Kambalda, Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie-Boulder. There is no doubt that when the Cabinet moves around the State of Western Australia, ministers are able to meet with all the local authorities, stakeholders, indigenous people and representatives of non-government associations in those communities. On each occasion we facilitate a proper question time so that the citizens of those communities can ask questions directly of the ministers who visit their communities. They have been very successful. The cabinet meeting in Eyre was held in that tradition. We had a chance to go to Norseman. We saw the development and optimism that exists in Kambalda. We were able to go to Coolgardie. There is no doubt that the Government of Western Australia should be doing these things, and I can guarantee that we will continue that tradition into the future. By the end of our first term of government, we will have had 24 community cabinet meetings. We will have another six next year. We are currently planning those meetings and they will occur throughout the State of Western Australia. There is no doubt that our commitment to rural and regional Western Australia is very strong. We have the regional investment fund, community cabinet meetings and regional investment tours. We are ensuring that when we consider capital works expenditure in Western Australia, the requirements of our regions to create new infrastructure for jobs and opportunities are being properly met.

GALLOP: Despite the cynicism of the Liberal Party on this matter, I assure the people of Western Australia that we will continue to project our Government into the community to ensure that the community can have a direct input into what is happening in Western Australia.
(2) Will this program of cabinet visits continue this year? Dr G.I. GALLOP replied: (1)-(2) We are very proud of the fact that since we were elected to government in February 2001, we have visited Albany, Geraldton, Kalgoorlie and Bunbury in 2001 and Mandurah, Broome, Derby, Carnarvon, Wanneroo, Narrogin, Burrup and Southern River in 2002. This year we have visited Donnybrook, Collie, Joondalup, Rockingham, East Kimberley, Newman and Eyre and soon we will be visiting Roleystone and Armadale. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Members! Dr G.I. GALLOP: We are very proud of our community cabinet meetings. We have set a very high standard of governance in Western Australia for the people who live in our suburbs and in our rural and regional communities. I thank the member for Eyre for helping organise the visit we made last week to Norseman, Kambalda, Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie-Boulder. There is no doubt that when the Cabinet moves around the State of Western Australia, ministers are able to meet with all the local authorities, stakeholders, indigenous people and representatives of non-government associations in those communities. On each occasion we facilitate a proper question time so that the citizens of those communities can ask questions directly of the ministers who visit their communities. They have been very successful. The cabinet meeting in Eyre was held in that tradition. We had a chance to go to Norseman. We saw the development and optimism that exists in Kambalda. We were able to go to Coolgardie. There is no doubt that the Government of Western Australia should be doing these things, and I can guarantee that we will continue that tradition into the future. By the end of our first term of government, we will have had 24 community cabinet meetings. We will have another six next year. We are currently planning those meetings and they will occur throughout the State of Western Australia. There is no doubt that our commitment to rural and regional Western Australia is very strong. We have the regional investment fund, community cabinet meetings and regional investment tours. We are ensuring that when we consider capital works expenditure in Western Australia, the requirements of our regions to create new infrastructure for jobs and opportunities are being properly met. We believe that community cabinet meetings are not optional extras; they are part and parcel of what the Government should be doing in this era. We have certainly done that, and we will continue to do it into the future. I thank the member for Eyre for the work he is doing in his electorate and for assisting us - Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. Dr G.I. GALLOP: Liberal, National and Independent members are always invited to our community luncheons. Mr R.F. Johnson: You did not invite me. Dr G.I. GALLOP: I will check on that. I think the member for Warren-Blackwood, the National Party member and the member for Stirling will confirm that they have attended. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Members!
