I ask a supplementary question. Can the Premier define exactly what he means by “creative service delivery”? Dr G.I. GALLOP
AnswerView source ↗
That is easy to do. I do not know where the Leader of the Opposition has been for the past four or five years. One part of the definition of “creative service delivery” involves a partnership between the government and the non-government sectors. In other words, the Government has learnt that it must have partners to deliver services in the community because it cannot be done through the normal bureaucratic processes. The second part of the definition is consideration of the causes leading to these problems. That is the hard bit of the equation. Why is it that when I was in Northbridge late on Friday night and early Saturday morning, I saw children aged between eight and 10 years of age on the streets, at risk to themselves and causing difficulties and problems for the rest the community? We want to work with these youngsters to provide them with a better future. The second part to the definition of “creative service delivery” involves engaging young people. I congratulate my colleague the Minister for Community Development, Women’s Interests, Seniors and Youth, for the contribution she is making to this discussion. Late on Friday night and early Saturday morning I sat down in Mission Australia with four young people, of 14 and 15 years of age, and chatted with them about why they were on the streets. We must have that engagement so that we can come up with creative solutions. The first part of the definition involves a partnership between the government and non-government sectors and, secondly, the engagement of young people so we can get them to turn the corner. We want those young people to have a future based upon hope; not a future based upon despair. The SPEAKER: I call to order for the second time the members for Warren-Blackwood and Nedlands.
