First Day Of WA Parliament, the Lower House.
They go through procedural things & the Premier sets out their aims for the year.
All that aside just look as a few of the things in the matters of Government Business - Orders of the Day.
Just look at three...
It gets worse, we now have cabinetry business in WA who are having supply issues for wood already & the industry hasn't fully closed. Where will it come from? Unsustainable, non regulated foreign forestries. We have just exported $200+Million of industrial activity to zero & exported jobs and profits to foreign workers, foreign businesses.
The second one pointed out above, without saying its good or bad the fact is, it will pass as the Government wants it to pass. There will be no Amendments entered into by any Labor MP unless cabinet &/or the Minister apporves lest they be expelled from the party. I am not at ease with the fac that factional leaders will fully rule what amendments can be considered or squashed. It has been a very long time coming, it was promised some years ago by the Government early in their first term. Now, years later its finally here whilst the Electoral Reform legislation was quickly passed, with little alternate views entered into with what can be regarded as either record time or very close to that...and still remains odder still when you remember the Electoral Reform legislation has been 100% fully passed, it is now law BUT it won't actually be used until the next election...AND THAT IS IN MARCH 2025
WHY WOULD A GOVT TAKE YEARS TO GET A VITAL BILL PASSED THAT AFFECTS ANIMALS, FARMERS & STAFF OF THE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY THAT COVERS THE LARGEST SECTION OF THE WA LAND MASS...AND THEN IN A MATTER OF DAYS PASS A BILL THAT WON'T ACTUALLY BE USED FOR ANOTHER 3 YEARS.
Get your head around that, one bill that was needed immediately YEARS AGO, was hurdled up & delayed roughly the same amount of time WA will have to wait before the Electoral Reform legislation can actually be used...and the Animal Welfare/Trepass Bill isn't even passed yet.
There are serial & vexatious activists committing civil disobedience & financially profiting from it.
I hope lengthy jail terms are handed out & criminal records stand out.
The third one pointed out above doesn't look as much as a result of the Law Reform Commission recommendations, or more likely possibly enough of them to become the vehicle for bringing in a range of other measures that can target people who by all reasonable basis are Organised Crime Members or assist those who are in the area of illegal firearms.
This legislation was introduced with no consultation with the Firearms Industry or Firearms Owners. There has been some since but I still wonder about the Firearms Prohibition Order (FPO) which can be applied to a person but the person will have extreme difficulty appealing it. Information that forms the basis of the FPO may be with held by the WAPolice on certain grounds removing the ability of the person knowing what matters are wrong & can be contested.
Gets worse. The person can be searched without warrant, so too their car, their home or any property and then there was the idea of any vehicle the FPOed person is a passenger in the property they're visiting. Also that if they enter the home of another person with legal possession of firearms the FPOed person maybe prosecuted.
Then it gets worse, a FPO can be applied to any person with a criminal history or not, whether they legally own firearms or not, whether they have a firearms licence approval pending or not. In fact, if the WAPolice deem the person is a person of interest or considered theat for reasons they may or may not defend or have to defend...that person can have a FPO placed upon them.
The people within that scope means anyone within the state boundaries of WA can have an FPO issued against them without a proper appeals ability.
Or I may have got this a bit wrong or its changed since last year...
I'm still waiting for the WA Opposition MPs to comment on.
They better ramp up and fast...it's in the parliament and its on the Third Reading...so its about to be passed.
I'm very worried about all these matters, the way they're being handled, smashed through & the PEOPLE OF WA ARE HAVING VERY LITTLE INPUT INTO THEM and many of the 2nd & 3rd tier WALabor MPs may not all understand what's in front of them, they're not sharing any of it with their electorate & they know if they want to keep their salaries & benefits THEY MUST VOTE HOWEVER THEY'RE TOLD
