QuestionView source ↗
Will the minister advise what rules govern land resumptions and whether there is any substance to the threat made yesterday by the Leader of the Opposition that a future Liberal Government would resume Fremantle eastern bypass land at cost plus 10 per cent? Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. That was an extraordinary and, might I say, hollow claim from the Leader of the Opposition. Dr G.I. Gallop: Do you want to follow up on The Hollow Men - I still have a copy of it! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: Yes! It was a rather extraordinary claim. As the Leader of the Opposition was getting himself whipped up into a frenzy about the Government’s paradigm shift and decision not to continue to bowl over existing inner-suburban fabric to turn more and more of it into roads, he became very adventurous and said that he had a clever plan and a secret trick that would stop the Government selling the land. He said that he would notify every prospective purchaser that a future Liberal Government - presumably not one run by Mr C.J. Barnett - would resume the land and that it would resume it at cost so that no-one would make any profit from its acquisition. After a few interjections, and because he supports private enterprise, he decided that he had to be careful about what he said. He then stated that it would be resumed at cost plus 10 per cent in accordance with public works provisions. I want to enlighten the House, particularly the Leader of the Opposition, on how property acquisitions work. Mr C.J. Barnett: The point is, we will resume the land. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I will just go through it. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Leader of the Opposition and member for Darling Range! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: When going into the next election, it will be really important for the whole community to know the costs of the road promises of the Opposition. Quite frankly, if we are to give substance to them, there will be no health budget and we will close down every hospital in the State. Opposition members have been travelling around the State handing out road promises like confetti. In the first term of government, we have been promised the Lancelin-Cervantes road, the Peel deviation, Roe Highway stage 8 made environmentally sound, which in itself will cost about $200 million, the Fremantle eastern bypass and the acquisition of all the Fremantle eastern bypass land. That is just for starters. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Members! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: For their edification, in case people read the comments of the Leader of the Opposition in Hansard yesterday about purchasing this valuable and exciting land opportunity, property is acquired at current market value. This property will be rezoned residential up to R60 and so will have significant residential development. Having purchased the land, people will be compensated for the buildings they build upon it. The Opposition will have to make some very hard decisions. On top of that, there would also be the 10 per cent solatium, which would not be within the province of the Leader of the Opposition should he be the leader of his party and, God help us, obtain government. It is important to know that this principle is enshrined in the federal Constitution. Section 51(xxxiii) states quite clearly that acquisition of property must be only on just terms. Any ranting, raving, threat or abuse by the Leader of the Opposition will have absolutely zero effect. We will be proceeding on track to get the planning for this State into the twenty-first century.

Gallop: Do you want to follow up on The Hollow Men - I still have a copy of it! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: Yes! It was a rather extraordinary claim. As the Leader of the Opposition was getting himself whipped up into a frenzy about the Government’s paradigm shift and decision not to continue to bowl over existing inner-suburban fabric to turn more and more of it into roads, he became very adventurous and said that he had a clever plan and a secret trick that would stop the Government selling the land. He said that he would notify every prospective purchaser that a future Liberal Government - presumably not one run by Mr C.J. Barnett - would resume the land and that it would resume it at cost so that no-one would make any profit from its acquisition. After a few interjections, and because he supports private enterprise, he decided that he had to be careful about what he said. He then stated that it would be resumed at cost plus 10 per cent in accordance with public works provisions. I want to enlighten the House, particularly the Leader of the Opposition, on how property acquisitions work. Mr C.J. Barnett: The point is, we will resume the land. Ms A.J.

I thank the member for some notice of this question. That was an extraordinary and, might I say, hollow claim from the Leader of the Opposition. Dr G.I. Gallop: Do you want to follow up on The Hollow Men - I still have a copy of it! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: Yes! It was a rather extraordinary claim. As the Leader of the Opposition was getting himself whipped up into a frenzy about the Government’s paradigm shift and decision not to continue to bowl over existing inner-suburban fabric to turn more and more of it into roads, he became very adventurous and said that he had a clever plan and a secret trick that would stop the Government selling the land. He said that he would notify every prospective purchaser that a future Liberal Government - presumably not one run by Mr C.J. Barnett - would resume the land and that it would resume it at cost so that no-one would make any profit from its acquisition. After a few interjections, and because he supports private enterprise, he decided that he had to be careful about what he said. He then stated that it would be resumed at cost plus 10 per cent in accordance with public works provisions. I want to enlighten the House, particularly the Leader of the Opposition, on how property acquisitions work. Mr C.J. Barnett: The point is, we will resume the land. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I will just go through it. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Leader of the Opposition and member for Darling Range! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: When going into the next election, it will be really important for the whole community to know the costs of the road promises of the Opposition. Quite frankly, if we are to give substance to them, there will be no health budget and we will close down every hospital in the State. Opposition members have been travelling around the State handing out road promises like confetti. In the first term of government, we have been promised the Lancelin-Cervantes road, the Peel deviation, Roe Highway stage 8 made environmentally sound, which in itself will cost about $200 million, the Fremantle eastern bypass and the acquisition of all the Fremantle eastern bypass land. That is just for starters. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: Members! Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: For their edification, in case people read the comments of the Leader of the Opposition in Hansard yesterday about purchasing this valuable and exciting land opportunity, property is acquired at current market value. This property will be rezoned residential up to R60 and so will have significant residential development. Having purchased the land, people will be compensated for the buildings they build upon it. The Opposition will have to make some very hard decisions. On top of that, there would also be the 10 per cent solatium, which would not be within the province of the Leader of the Opposition should he be the leader of his party and, God help us, obtain government. It is important to know that this principle is enshrined in the federal Constitution. Section 51(xxxiii) states quite clearly that acquisition of property must be only on just terms. Any ranting, raving, threat or abuse by the Leader of the Opposition will have absolutely zero effect. We will be proceeding on track to get the planning for this State into the twenty-first century.
