Adele in the Legislative Assembly in 2009 with the Speaker, the Hon. Grant Woodhams MLA

Adele’s voting record in Parliament:

Adele tended to support the Labor opposition in Parliament, but at times stood alone on important matters.

Adele was the only MP in the Legislative Assembly during her term:

(1)   to vote against the controversial stop and search laws when they were first introduced (they were ultimately stopped with the support of the Nationals in the Upper House);

(2)   to vote against the Cockburn Cement licence, due to the negative health impacts on local residents; and

(3)   to call on the Government to stop logging our native South West forests

On Fremantle issues, Adele focused on:

(1)  keeping bulk minerals out of the Fremantle Port – examples of this were Magellan Lead (lead carbonate) and  Cazaly (Iron ore);

(2)  getting more containers on rail and off roads in Fremantle

(3)  supporting women’s groups, including Freo based community midwifery

(4)  keeping our Fremantle Hospital open;

(5)  plans for a southern light rail link for the new Cockburn Coast plan;

(6)  funding for Fremantle public schools;

(7)   protecting the built heritage and human scale of the Freo CBD;

(8)  funding for the unsafe Fremantle traffic bridge and the High Street upgrade

(9)  funding for the Arts in Fremantle
