FEDERAL ELECTION, IMPACT OF SWING
(1) Given the significant swing to the Liberal Party in Western Australia in last Saturday’s federal election, will the Premier confirm that if the same result were translated to the state level, the Labor members for Joondalup, Swan Hills, Riverton, Albany, Geraldton and Bunbury would be out of a job? (2) Will the Premier accept any responsibility for the poor performance of the Labor Party at last weekend’s election? Dr GALLOP

AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(2) Unlike the Leader of the Opposition, I have not trawled through all of the booth figures and done an analysis of the federal election. However, a comparison of the voting in the States of Australia shows that the primary vote for the Labor Party at the federal election went up in Western Australia and the Northern Territory. Unlike the Leader of the Opposition, I have great faith in the Australian electors. When they go to an election for a local government authority, they know that they are voting for local councillors. When they go to elect a State Parliament and a State Government, they know they are electing a State Parliament and a State Government. When they go to a national election, they know they are electing a national Parliament and a national Government. Mr Birney interjected. Dr GALLOP: Was that interjection from our good friend the member for Kalgoorlie? Is he still strongly opposed to the one vote, one value principle? Mr Birney: Can I think about it? Dr GALLOP: He is still strongly opposed to it. I am told that the member for Kalgoorlie is so committed to rural and regional Western Australia that he is eyeing off a metropolitan seat for the next election. I am told that he is eyeing off the seat held by the member for South Perth. I have been told that he has been given advice that the seat of Alfred Cove is perhaps worth considering. Is the member for Kalgoorlie considering running for the seat of Alfred Cove? I am told that he is also eyeing off the seat of Carine. The member for Kalgoorlie is happy to make interjections in this Parliament on behalf of what he claims is a principle of rural representation, but, as soon as he can, he wants to sneak down to the metropolitan area to try to get a seat here. Like all Australians, I congratulate the Prime Minister on his win. We have a democratic system. He won that election. On behalf of all Western Australians, I also congratulate a great Western Australian, Mr Kim Beazley, for the contribution he has made at the federal level as a senior minister in the Hawke and Keating Governments and as Leader of the Opposition. His contribution at the federal political level on behalf of the people of Western Australia has been massive in terms of his intellectual contribution and the depth of his commitment to the communities he has represented as a federal member. He will be sadly missed at the top level of Australian politics.
