Say YES to Police Workers Compensation

Posted on by Standard 1

The WESTERN AUSTRALIA PARTY says YES to Police Workers Compensation.

It is a little known fact that WA Police officers are currently excluded from Workers Compensation payouts, and those that are medically unfit to work are sacked from the Police force.

While the WA State Government is pushing forward with plans for Metronet, they are currently procrastinating on introducing a Police Compensation Scheme and amending Section 8 of the Police Act,  which WA Labor promised to do, prior to being elected in March 2017.  This issue has been going on for 20 years.

The Western Australia Party says that WA Police should be treated no differently to any other employee with regards to Workers Compensation.

Compensation for police men and women and police services is being compromised by the Federal Government’s refusal to pay Western Australia its per capita (11%) share of the GST.  Instead the State Government is forced to revenue raise through speed cameras, denying Western Australia a properly funded well-resourced police and law enforcement service.

Russell Goodrick, candidate for Darling Range says

“If Western Australia received 100% of our per-capita share of GST and Fuel Excise revenue, this would assist to fund Police Workers Compensation, open a Police Station 24×7 in Darling Range, and sufficient Police to maintain law and order in Western Australia.”

Currently Western Australia is short-changed by $5.3 billion each year of its per-capita share of the total GST revenue.  This shortfall is denying Western Australia a well funded Police Service which is urgently required, not just in the Darling Range electorate, but across Western Australia.

Darling Range by-election

Posted on by Standard 3

The WESTERN AUSTRALIA PARTY is delighted to nominate Mr Russell Goodrick as its candidate for the Darling Range by-election on 23 June 2018.

Russell is a former award-winning Channel 9 newsreader, a producer of thousands of TV programs, and a community leader for many organisations including a founding member of Football West.

Party Convenor, Julie Matheson says “This by-election is a referendum on the GST for Western Australia. We don’t want promises of handouts or top ups. The Western Australia Party wants our per capita (11%) share of the GST to fund education, health and law enforcement.”

“As one of the fastest growing areas in Australia, Darling Range has affordable housing, but unaffordable living. We need to fix the lack of infrastructure, extend Tonkin Highway and the Train service.” says Russell.  “We can do that with a greater share of the GST, a subject that has been painful for the major parties trying to please their bosses in Canberra.”

After having lived in the East Metropolitan area for most of his life, Russell ran for the Western Australia Party in the 2017 State election to advocate for changes to the family court to make it better for mums and dads, especially children.  He is passionate about tourism and has promoted over 60 country towns in Western Australia.

Russell says the Darling Range has always been the Apple of My Eye.

True to form Russell is “still the One” and drew position 1 on the ballot paper out of 11 candidates!
