Is the Premier aware of a brochure circulated in the goldfields by the member for Kalgoorlie that accuses the Premier of lying? Mr COURT

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. This is a pretty interesting brochure, and it is a sign of desperation for a lawyer from Kalgoorlie to circulate information accusing the Government of lying about native title. Ms Anwyl interjected. Mr COURT: I will give the member a copy of the brochure. As far as I am concerned, the Australian Labor Party has lost the plot on native title. The Labor Party has one candidate from the goldfields saying he has concerns about native title and the way the Labor Party rushed to have it knocked out in the Senate. Mr Brown: What about the gold tax? Who do you reckon said it? Mr COURT: Is the member finished? Mr Brown: What about the gold tax? The SPEAKER: Order, member for Bassendean! Ms Anwyl: Exactly what is the Premier complaining of? It does nothing to resolve the issue. Mr COURT: Does the member want me to table the leaflet? During question time I will get the leaflet and table it. The member for Kalgoorlie said - . . . ‘whichever way I . . . voted the result would have been the same’ . . . The member is admitting that she is not prepared to stand up and be counted for the people of her electorate. Ms Anwyl: Why don’t you answer the question? Mr COURT: It is even more interesting that the Leader of the Opposition says that we should use the Queensland model, the “you beaut” model. I will tell members about the Queensland model. Mr Brown interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Each day I have to remind members that I am allowing some level of interjection, particularly from people with portfolio responsibility, but the interjections must relate to the question. The member for Joondalup is trying to get an interjection across; the member for Bassendean has not formally been cautioned but we have heard his question about the gold tax four times, and if I hear it again, he will be formally called to order. Mr COURT: The Queensland Government has actually asked us how we have negotiated some of our agreements. In relation to the Queensland exploration regime, its Government applies the right to negotiate over any prospecting or exploration, which effectively rules out all on-the-ground exploration. Queensland is in a mess. In relation to the agreed determination of native title - Ms Anwyl: Why do you not mediate claims in the goldfields? Tell us about the goldfields. Mr COURT: I will explain. The statewide agreements about which the member is talking are dead in the water in Queensland. The demands by the Queensland Indigenous Working Group have been rejected as outrageous and have come to a dead halt. If the member wants to use the Queensland model, as does the Leader of the Opposition, because she believes that model works, she should look at the facts because it does not work. The last thing we want to see in Western Australia is a headline “Title Victory Squandered”, which was the result of what is happening in Queensland. The brochure contains the note “Authorised & Printed by M Anwyl, 47 Dugan St, Kalgoorlie”, and it states - Richard Court is lying to you when he says his legislation would clear the log jam. Ms Anwyl: Can the Premier explain how this Government would clear the logjam? Mr COURT: Shifting from a right to negotiate to a consultation process will quickly remove the logjam. Ms Anwyl: It is not retrospective, and you know that. Mr COURT: Anyway, if the member wants to campaign in Kalgoorlie on native title, we will be there with her.

The brochure contains the note “Authorised & Printed by M Anwyl, 47 Dugan St, Kalgoorlie”, and it states - Richard Court is lying to you when he says his legislation would clear the log jam. Ms Anwyl: Can the Premier explain how this Government would clear the logjam? Mr COURT: Shifting from a right to negotiate to a consultation process will quickly remove the logjam. Ms Anwyl: It is not retrospective, and you know that. Mr COURT: Anyway, if the member wants to campaign in Kalgoorlie on native title, we will be there with her.
Mr COURT: It is even more interesting that the Leader of the Opposition says that we should use the Queensland model, the “you beaut” model. I will tell members about the Queensland model. Mr Brown interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Each day I have to remind members that I am allowing some level of interjection, particularly from people with portfolio responsibility, but the interjections must relate to the question. The member for Joondalup is trying to get an interjection across; the member for Bassendean has not formally been cautioned but we have heard his question about the gold tax four times, and if I hear it again, he will be formally called to order. Mr COURT: The Queensland Government has actually asked us how we have negotiated some of our agreements. In relation to the Queensland exploration regime, its Government applies the right to negotiate over any prospecting or exploration, which effectively rules out all on-the-ground exploration. Queensland is in a mess. In relation to the agreed determination of native title - Ms Anwyl: Why do you not mediate claims in the goldfields? Tell us about the goldfields. Mr COURT: I will explain. The statewide agreements about which the member is talking are dead in the water in Queensland. The demands by the Queensland Indigenous Working Group have been rejected as outrageous and have come to a dead halt. If the member wants to use the Queensland model, as does the Leader of the Opposition, because she believes that model works, she should look at the facts because it does not work. The last thing we want to see in Western Australia is a headline “Title Victory Squandered”, which was the result of what is happening in Queensland.
