QuestionView source ↗
I refer the Premier to his state sustainability strategy, which will include establishing a new government department - the sustainability directorate - and other pie-in-the-sky initiatives such as a ban on salary packaging that does not include options for bicycle transport and eco-loans for first home buyers. (1) Why has the Premier chosen to focus on this flight of fancy while neglecting urgent issues such as the health crisis, the industrial relations chaos in the State and real environmental problems that face the State, including salinity, water and air quality and the health of the Swan River? (2) Is the Premier planning a major advertising campaign to promote the strategy; and, if so, what is the campaign expected to cost Western Australian taxpayers? Dr G.I. GALLOP

(1)-(2) It is interesting that when an issue like this comes up we get an insight into the mind of the Leader of the Opposition and the approach of the Liberal Party in Western Australia. I will put a question to the Parliament. What would have happened if, when Western Australia was developing the wheatbelt in the early twentieth century, it had incorporated sustainability principles into the process? Would salinity be occurring today? Of course it would not; we would have planned for the future. What would have happened if, when suburban development was occurring in the hinterland of the Swan River, we had considered the impact of that development on the Swan River? Would the algal blooms be occurring today? Of course they would not. The sustainability strategy is to make sure that we plan for the future. We on this side of the House are capable not only of dealing with the day-to-day issues that need to be dealt with in government but also of looking to the future. The sustainability strategy that has been made available today is a blueprint for the next generation. This Government is very clear about its commitment to our future. That is why we will stop logging in old-growth forests. That is why we will have 30-year national parks. That is why we will have five more marine parks in Western Australia. That is why we will have a new approach to coastal management in Western Australia. That is why we have been consulting with the public about how to manage the area between Carnarvon and Exmouth on the important Ningaloo coast. The Opposition has no vision and no policies. It is locked into the past. We are very pleased to say that, in putting forward our approach to the future, we are doing the same sorts of things that progressive corporations and Governments around the world are doing. That leads me to the other part of the question. The reason the sustainability strategy has been launched today is that Western Australia is currently hosting a meeting of more than 20 subnational Governments from around the world - a grouping that was formed following the Johannesburg summit - to look at how sustainability can be applied in their jurisdictions. I am pleased to note that this morning, the Minister for the Environment chaired a session of all those subnational Governments, and tomorrow a seminar and forum will be conducted on a range of issues, with some excellent speakers. Already enormous interest is being shown in our sustainability strategy, from the business sector, the community sector, local government, other State Governments in Australia and Governments around the world. This is yet another clear illustration of the divisions within this Parliament. The Liberal side of the House is backward looking and negative. It has no vision and is not in touch with the major developments that need to be tackled today. However, on this side of the House is a Government that is concerned with not just the present but also the future. Western Australians enjoy a wonderful lifestyle, and in order to protect and enhance that lifestyle we must plan for the future today. The sustainability strategy includes a range of initiatives that will be incorporated within the government process over the next decade. Western Australia is the leading state in our nation, and we intend to keep it that way.
