women’s report card
The Women’s Report Card was established in 2004 to set indicators measuring progress in the lives of women in Western Australia. In 2006, a short, partial update was published that covered only some of the indicators. Much of the so-called “updated data” is only as recent as 2003. (1) When will the Women’s Report Card be comprehensively updated to reflect the current status of the indicators established in 2004? (2) Why was no partial or comprehensive update published in 2007 to reflect the current status of progress indicators? (3) When can we expect a partial or comprehensive update to be published that will reflect the current status of progress indicators? Hon SUE ELLERY

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The Women’s Report Card is intended to be a biennial publication. The Department for Communities has recently negotiated an in-principle agreement with the Australian Bureau of Statistics to incorporate the Women’s Report Card into the Western Australian indicator frameworks system, which will greatly assist in the collation of raw data for the next publication of the report. (2) Not all of the data incorporated in the report indicators is available on an annual basis. For example, parts of the 2004 report draw on 2001 census data, whereas new census data from the 2006 census became publicly available only in July this year. (3) An updated Women’s Report Card will be published during 2008.
