AnsweredQoN 1245Legislative Council
QuestionView source ↗
I refer the Leader of the House to amendments to the national competition policy arrangements attached to the COAG communiqué of 3 November 2000. (1) Who represented Western Australia at that meeting? (2) Is the Government happy that Council of Australian Governments senior officials were given the responsibility for determining the forward work program of the National Competition Council, effectively taking that control away from the parties to COAG, as per the national competition policy legislation in 1995? (3) If not, what action has the State Government taken or will it take in COAG or elsewhere in the future to address the issue about agreements made by the previous State Government in this regard? (4) What background information can the Government provide about the senior COAG officials who were given this task, which is obviously having a major impact on a range of sectors of Western Australia? (5) Will the Leader of the House provide a copy of the letter from the Prime Minister to COAG on 27 October 2000 regarding the measures to clarify and finetune implementation arrangements for NCP, as cited in the communiqué? Hon KIM CHANCE
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. As there was no attachment to the COAG communiqué of 3 November 2000 on the national competition policy, I assume the honourable member is referring to the communiqué itself. (1) The Premier always represents Western Australia at COAG. (2) COAG senior officials were not given the responsibility for determining the National Competition Council’s forward work program. Rather, the decision made at COAG was for the National Competition Council to determine its forward work program in consultation with COAG senior officials. The role of COAG is to initiate, develop and monitor the implementation of policy reforms that are of national significance and which require cooperative action by Australian Governments. Given that this includes the national competition policy - NCP - it is essential that COAG provide guidance to the National Competition Council on its requirements in relation to the reform commitments under the NCP. In this case, the guidance is provided through the senior COAG officials. (3) Not applicable. (4) COAG senior officials are senior officers from the departments of Premiers, Chief Ministers and the Prime Minister. They are responsible directly to COAG. (5) A copy is tabled with this answer. [See paper No 1417.]
