ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON WOMEN IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Thank you, Mr President. I will just wait. Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT : Hon Bruce Donaldson is being very patient, members. I think he should be given the opportunity to ask his question. Hon Kim Chance : He is a saint. Hon BRUCE DONALDSON : I thank the Leader of the House. (1) Who are the members of the ministerial Advisory Committee on Women in Local Government? (2) What support is given to the committee by the Department of Local Government and Regional Development? (3) What role does the Western Australian Local Government Association have on this committee? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

(1)-(3) That is an interesting question without notice. I thank the member for his question. Local government and women have perhaps had an uneasy history. It is fair to say that, historically, the number of women in local government has been somewhat lacking. One of the functions of the Advisory Committee on Women in Local Government is to ensure that women are aware of their opportunities to engage with local government, in terms of not only the job opportunities that are available to young women and not-so-young women in local government or its different branches, but also the opportunities that can be provided to women as elected members of local government councils. Clearly, the number of women who are engaged in local government is very low. To increase their engagement to a much more respectable level is one of the aspirations of the advisory committee. Hon Bruce Donaldson : What about the membership of that committee? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH : I will have to take that part of the question on notice. I am happy to provide that information to the honourable member. I understand that Ms Ricky Burges, who is CEO of WALGA, is not represented on this committee. I will be attending a function in the not-too-distant future at which I will address members of that committee. For the record, I think that the committee does a very good job. I certainly support the aspirations that its members have for women in local government.
