The coalition Government has actively held cabinet meetings throughout the State. Will the Premier inform the House of the outcome of yesterday’s visit by Cabinet to the City of Stirling? Mr COURT
AnswerView source ↗
Cabinet went into a part of town which the member represents. It was the twenty-fifth regional cabinet meeting. These meetings are designed to ensure that ministers are out there listening to the concerns of the communities. I will share with members some of the issues raised. I met with many different small business people and can inform the Leader of the Opposition that they do not like the Opposition's plans to dismantle this Government’s industrial relations system and that they are very supportive of workplace agreements. The families of year 8 students like the initiatives, such as that which was launched yesterday at the Balga Senior High School. The year 8 students have either low-cost or second-hand computers set up online in their homes. The small business community likes what the Government has been doing to reduce the rate of home burglaries, because law and order is one of the biggest issues it faces. Interestingly, after concerted police action in recent months, the levels of home burglaries have started to come down in Fremantle, Joondalup and Midland, for example. Ms Anwyl interjected. Mr COURT: It is interesting that the opposition spokesperson said that crime was coming down in little pockets. Those little pockets include the suburbs of Bayswater, Coolbinia, Inglewood, Innaloo, Joondanna, Maylands, Menora, Mirrabooka, Morley, Mt Hawthorn, Mt Lawley, North Perth, Scarborough and Yokine. The Mirrabooka police district has just recorded its lowest number of home burglary offences in the month of August for the past two years and has had a 23 per cent drop since June. Surely members of the Opposition can give some credit when the figures show that the levels are being reduced. I would hardly describe that as a pocket. The communities do not like what the Opposition proposes to do on prostitution. While the Government is trying to make communities safer with a focus on families, the Opposition has a policy to amend the Local Government Act so that local councils and residents can make decisions where to put brothels - that is the Opposition's law and order initiative. In other words, the Labor Party is prepared to put the interests of pimps and prostitutes ahead of Western Australian families. Ms Anwyl interjected. The SPEAKER: I caution the member for Kalgoorlie. When I have asked members to come to order, I do not expect them to immediately blurt out inane interjections.
