Before I ask my question, may I, on behalf of the Liberal Party, also pass on my condolences to the family of Jim Regan, the WA State Emergency Service worker who tragically lost his life. I refer the Premier to steps taken by the national executive of the Australian Labor Party to sweep aside allegations of vote rigging and fraud within the Western Australian Labor Party, and the likelihood that these criminal allegations will not be properly investigated. (1) In the interests of open and accountable Government, will the Premier, as Premier of this State, ensure that these allegations are fully and properly investigated by the relevant authorities? (2) Has the Premier walked away from his promise of “leaving no stone unturned” in investigating these allegations because he has been heavied by union powerbrokers within the Labor Party? Dr G.I.

(1)-(2) Here we have it, Mr Speaker. We in the State of Western Australia face many challenges, such as environmental challenges. We announced this morning our commitment of $158 million to deal with salinity. We face competitive challenges: we announced the $50 million science commitment. We face health challenges: the Minister for Health, together with the commonwealth Minister for Health and Ageing, announced only yesterday the new general practitioner clinics. We face great social challenges, particularly in our Aboriginal communities: we are meeting those challenges with the implementation of the Inquiry into Response by Government Agencies to Complaints of Family Violence and Child Abuse in Aboriginal Communities recommendations. While all this is going on, what is the Opposition interested in? It is interested in the internal affairs of the Australian Labor Party. That tells us what the priorities are for the members of the Liberal Party. The Australian Labor Party takes very seriously its responsibilities for its rules. That is why the national executive has taken an interest in the complaints that have been made in Western Australia about union affiliations and branch memberships and why it will supervise major audits to make sure, to quote myself as Premier and Leader of the Labor Party, that “no stone is left unturned” to ensure that everyone who has a vote in the Labor Party election has the right and that every affiliated union is affiliated on the right basis. That is what we do as a party on these issues. The person who laid these complaints, Senator Bishop, has indicated that he is very happy with the way this issue is being dealt with. Those opposite can follow their course of action and concern themselves with the internal affairs of the Labor Party. Do members know what this reminds me of? During the last election campaign I was getting telephone calls every morning from a disgruntled Liberal. That person kept ringing me and saying, “Do you know what you should treat as the biggest issue of this election campaign? It is the branch stacking allegations in the Liberal Party.” He kept telling me that it was a huge issue. I think he kept mentioning the name Peter Collier in those telephone calls to me. Obviously, there is an obsession on the Liberal side of politics with those sorts of issues. Of course, in that election campaign I focused on what the people of Western Australia want, and that is why I am sitting here today and the Leader of the Opposition is sitting over there.
