AnswerView source ↗
I thank the members for Swan Hills, Roleystone, Southern River, Kingsley, Carine - who else was there? Ms J.A. Radisich: Not the member for Cottesloe. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: No, it was a positive day. It is easy to become a little cynical and, indeed, jaded in public life; therefore, it is very rewarding to be involved in a process like the Dialogue with the City, in which 1 100 people of all ages and walks of life - Mrs C.L. Edwardes: It was a fraud! You know why. The sustainability strategy had come out in a previously determined position. All those people wasted their time on Saturday. The SPEAKER: Order! Mrs C.L. Edwardes: It was an absolute fraud! You should apologise to them. You betrayed all those people. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member for Kingsley to order for the second time. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I realise that a paradigm shift is being made and that some people will struggle to understand that concept, and that some will take more time than others to grasp the picture. There is no point in planning for Perth if the people whose city it is are not engaged. The Government took what it considered to be a courageous step in laying the entire issue of the future of our city open to the community, and seeking people’s guidance on how they want our city to grow. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Mrs C.L. Edwardes interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member for Kingsley to order for the third time and the member for Kalgoorlie for the second time. I call the member for Perth to order. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: One of the interesting insights from the forum was the focus people wanted on local centres. People want a city with a series of villages. They want local centres spread throughout the metropolitan area that offer the opportunity of recreational activity and employment within their region. The potential exists to shape our city in quite a different way from the processes of the past. None of the ideas that arose at the forum was really new; however, it became evident that a strong focus was placed on the need for vibrant local economies and local communities. A sophisticated understanding on the part of the community was also evident. Some of our international visitors were absolutely stunned at the sophisticated understanding of the punters at the tables regarding how land use and transport must be planned together. Mr D.F. Barron-Sullivan interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! The Deputy Leader of the Opposition will come to order! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: This Government is genuinely trying to do government a little differently from the approach of the past. Government members were very pleased that members of the Opposition and Greens (WA) were prepared to involve themselves in this event. I am sure that outside this adversarial Chamber those members will acknowledge the enormous energy, enthusiasm and commitment demonstrated by the public to be part of this process. The Government will establish a steering committee to oversee the implementation of this process. The Government will work closely in partnership with local government. Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, Leader of the Opposition! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: The Government will work closely with local government and communities to develop a strategy by which the Government can apply this vision to ensure - Mr C.J. Barnett: A dishonest minister. Withdrawal of Remark Mr J.C. KOBELKE: I do not know whether you heard the interjection, Mr Speaker, but it was a clear reflection on the minister speaking. I ask you to request that the Leader of the Opposition withdraw it. Mr C.J. BARNETT: I withdraw. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr C.J. Barnett: At least I keep it clean. The SPEAKER: I formally call the Leader of the Opposition to order for the first time. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: Some people find it more difficult to reform than others. The Dialogue with the City was a great day and indicated that a lot of positivity exists out in the community, and that we can rise above this adversarial culture and attempt to do government in a different manner. Many members of our community are committed to ensure that Perth remains a great place to live.

A sophisticated understanding on the part of the community was also evident. Some of our international visitors were absolutely stunned at the sophisticated understanding of the punters at the tables regarding how land use and transport must be planned together. Mr D.F. Barron-Sullivan interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! The Deputy Leader of the Opposition will come to order! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: This Government is genuinely trying to do government a little differently from the approach of the past. Government members were very pleased that members of the Opposition and Greens (WA) were prepared to involve themselves in this event. I am sure that outside this adversarial Chamber those members will acknowledge the enormous energy, enthusiasm and commitment demonstrated by the public to be part of this process. The Government will establish a steering committee to oversee the implementation of this process. The Government will work closely in partnership with local government. Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, Leader of the Opposition! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: The Government will work closely with local government and communities to develop a strategy by which the Government can apply this vision to ensure - Mr C.J. Barnett: A dishonest minister. Withdrawal of Remark Mr J.C. KOBELKE: I do not know whether you heard the interjection, Mr Speaker, but it was a clear reflection on the minister speaking. I ask you to request that the Leader of the Opposition withdraw it. Mr C.J. BARNETT: I withdraw. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr C.J. Barnett: At least I keep it clean. The SPEAKER: I formally call the Leader of the Opposition to order for the first time. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: Some people find it more difficult to reform than others. The Dialogue with the City was a great day and indicated that a lot of positivity exists out in the community, and that we can rise above this adversarial culture and attempt to do government in a different manner. Many members of our community are committed to ensure that Perth remains a great place to live.
Mrs C.L. Edwardes: It was an absolute fraud! You should apologise to them. You betrayed all those people. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member for Kingsley to order for the second time. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I realise that a paradigm shift is being made and that some people will struggle to understand that concept, and that some will take more time than others to grasp the picture. There is no point in planning for Perth if the people whose city it is are not engaged. The Government took what it considered to be a courageous step in laying the entire issue of the future of our city open to the community, and seeking people’s guidance on how they want our city to grow. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Mrs C.L. Edwardes interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member for Kingsley to order for the third time and the member for Kalgoorlie for the second time. I call the member for Perth to order. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: One of the interesting insights from the forum was the focus people wanted on local centres. People want a city with a series of villages. They want local centres spread throughout the metropolitan area that offer the opportunity of recreational activity and employment within their region.

The Dialogue with the City was a great day and indicated that a lot of positivity exists out in the community, and that we can rise above this adversarial culture and attempt to do government in a different manner. Many members of our community are committed to ensure that Perth remains a great place to live.

Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. Ms J.A. RADISICH: Will the member for Cottesloe stop laughing? The Dialogue with the City event took place on Saturday. Can the minister please inform the House of the success of the event, and outline some of the preliminary findings that came out of the biggest planning consultation exercise ever held in the Southern Hemisphere? Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN replied: I thank the members for Swan Hills, Roleystone, Southern River, Kingsley, Carine - who else was there? Ms J.A. Radisich: Not the member for Cottesloe. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: No, it was a positive day. It is easy to become a little cynical and, indeed, jaded in public life; therefore, it is very rewarding to be involved in a process like the Dialogue with the City, in which 1 100 people of all ages and walks of life - Mrs C.L. Edwardes: It was a fraud! You know why. The sustainability strategy had come out in a previously determined position. All those people wasted their time on Saturday. The SPEAKER: Order! Mrs C.L. Edwardes: It was an absolute fraud! You should apologise to them. You betrayed all those people. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member for Kingsley to order for the second time. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I realise that a paradigm shift is being made and that some people will struggle to understand that concept, and that some will take more time than others to grasp the picture. There is no point in planning for Perth if the people whose city it is are not engaged. The Government took what it considered to be a courageous step in laying the entire issue of the future of our city open to the community, and seeking people’s guidance on how they want our city to grow. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Mrs C.L. Edwardes interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member for Kingsley to order for the third time and the member for Kalgoorlie for the second time. I call the member for Perth to order. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: One of the interesting insights from the forum was the focus people wanted on local centres. People want a city with a series of villages. They want local centres spread throughout the metropolitan area that offer the opportunity of recreational activity and employment within their region. The potential exists to shape our city in quite a different way from the processes of the past. None of the ideas that arose at the forum was really new; however, it became evident that a strong focus was placed on the need for vibrant local economies and local communities. A sophisticated understanding on the part of the community was also evident. Some of our international visitors were absolutely stunned at the sophisticated understanding of the punters at the tables regarding how land use and transport must be planned together. Mr D.F. Barron-Sullivan interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! The Deputy Leader of the Opposition will come to order! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: This Government is genuinely trying to do government a little differently from the approach of the past. Government members were very pleased that members of the Opposition and Greens (WA) were prepared to involve themselves in this event. I am sure that outside this adversarial Chamber those members will acknowledge the enormous energy, enthusiasm and commitment demonstrated by the public to be part of this process. The Government will establish a steering committee to oversee the implementation of this process. The Government will work closely in partnership with local government. Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, Leader of the Opposition! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: The Government will work closely with local government and communities to develop a strategy by which the Government can apply this vision to ensure - Mr C.J. Barnett: A dishonest minister. Withdrawal of Remark Mr J.C. KOBELKE: I do not know whether you heard the interjection, Mr Speaker, but it was a clear reflection on the minister speaking. I ask you to request that the Leader of the Opposition withdraw it. Mr C.J. BARNETT: I withdraw. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr C.J. Barnett: At least I keep it clean.

MacTIERNAN: This Government is genuinely trying to do government a little differently from the approach of the past. Government members were very pleased that members of the Opposition and Greens (WA) were prepared to involve themselves in this event. I am sure that outside this adversarial Chamber those members will acknowledge the enormous energy, enthusiasm and commitment demonstrated by the public to be part of this process. The Government will establish a steering committee to oversee the implementation of this process. The Government will work closely in partnership with local government. Mr C.J. Barnett interjected. The SPEAKER: Order, Leader of the Opposition! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: The Government will work closely with local government and communities to develop a strategy by which the Government can apply this vision to ensure - Mr C.J. Barnett: A dishonest minister. Withdrawal of Remark Mr J.C. KOBELKE: I do not know whether you heard the interjection, Mr Speaker, but it was a clear reflection on the minister speaking. I ask you to request that the Leader of the Opposition withdraw it. Mr C.J. BARNETT: I withdraw. Questions without Notice Resumed Mr C.J. Barnett: At least I keep it clean. The SPEAKER: I formally call the Leader of the Opposition to order for the first time. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: Some people find it more difficult to reform than others. The Dialogue with the City was a great day and indicated that a lot of positivity exists out in the community, and that we can rise above this adversarial culture and attempt to do government in a different manner. Many members of our community are committed to ensure that Perth remains a great place to live.
The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member for Kingsley to order for the second time. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I realise that a paradigm shift is being made and that some people will struggle to understand that concept, and that some will take more time than others to grasp the picture. There is no point in planning for Perth if the people whose city it is are not engaged. The Government took what it considered to be a courageous step in laying the entire issue of the future of our city open to the community, and seeking people’s guidance on how they want our city to grow. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! Mrs C.L. Edwardes interjected. The SPEAKER: Order! I call the member for Kingsley to order for the third time and the member for Kalgoorlie for the second time. I call the member for Perth to order. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: One of the interesting insights from the forum was the focus people wanted on local centres. People want a city with a series of villages. They want local centres spread throughout the metropolitan area that offer the opportunity of recreational activity and employment within their region. The potential exists to shape our city in quite a different way from the processes of the past. None of the ideas that arose at the forum was really new; however, it became evident that a strong focus was placed on the need for vibrant local economies and local communities. A sophisticated understanding on the part of the community was also evident.
