COASTGUARD PROPOSAL
I refer to the Premier’s unqualified support on Radio 6PR this morning for Mr Beazley’s United States-style coastguard proposal. (1) Is the Premier aware, as reported in The Australian today, that the Navy has stated that Mr Beazley’s plan will have a “significant detrimental operational impact” and reduce training opportunities for naval officers? (2) What impact will the coastguard proposal, which undoubtedly will cut resources from the Navy, have on personnel based at Stirling Naval Base? Dr GALLOP

(1)-(2) The federal Leader of the Opposition and our colleague in the federal Parliament, Mr Kim Beazley, has hit the mark with his coastguard proposal. He is right on the money, and I will tell members why. The reason that we have a Navy is the same reason that we have an Air Force and an Army; that is, to defend the country; and that is what we want the focus of the Navy, the Air Force and the Army to be. There are a number of very good reasons that the people of Western Australia should be very pleased with the coastguard announcement. The first is that Western Australia has taken the brunt of the problems associated with people smuggling and illegal entry into Australia. What Mr Beazley has come up with is a creative response to that problem, and it will improve the way in which we protect our borders from Wyndham in the north right down to the south west of our State. We are talking about illegal fishing, the illegal entry of drugs, and people smuggling. The coastguard will be able to police those issues more adequately. There is another reason that the people of Western Australia should find Mr Beazley’s proposal very attractive. Let us look at Mr Beazley’s record for the people of Western Australia. Who brought the Navy to Western Australia? Government members: Kim Beazley! Dr GALLOP: Who created a defence precinct at Stirling? Government members: Kim Beazley! Dr GALLOP: Who brought the Collins-class submarines to Western Australia? Government members: Kim Beazley! Dr GALLOP: Under a Beazley Government, those coastguard vessels will be built in Australia; and because of the promotion by the former Labor Government and the just defeated coalition Government, we have a first class, cutting edge shipbuilding industry in this State. There will be 1 500 jobs, and $450 million will be invested in those new ships. I have written to Mr Beazley today and have said that we are ready, willing and able to build those ships and to have those jobs in Western Australia. The coastguard will do for Western Australia what Mr Beazley did for Western Australia when he was Minister for Defence; namely, create jobs and more security for our State.
