• Tony_McRae abstract "Anthony "Tony" David McRae (born 7 April 1957) in Tumut, New South Wales is an Australian politician. He was an ALP member in the Western Australian Legislative Assembly from 2001 to 2008, representing the electorate of Riverton.Tony McRae unexpectedly won the traditional Liberal seat of Riverton in the 2001 Gallop-led election and held the seat at the 2005 election. Before entering Parliament Mr McRae was the National Director, Research and Information at the National Native Title tribunal (1995–2000), a green-house gas reduction consultant (1993–95) and senior policy adviser to Minister and Premier Peter Dowding (1985–1991). As Dowding's senior labour market adviser, he negotiated reforms to WA's training systems including the introduction of traineeships and competency rather than time-based system of skills development. In 1980 Mr McRae had moved to Western Australia from Tumut NSW to work as an electrician in the WA iron ore industry and became an active ETU member; President of the Combined Unions Council in Newman and a delegate to the WA Iron Ore Industry Consultative Council. Tony McRae was Western Australia's first Minister for Climate Change (2006–07) and co-authored the State's 2007 Climate Change Action Policy. He also held portfolios as Minister for Disability Services; Multicultural Affairs; Assisting on Planning and Infrastructure; Parliamentary Secretary for Agriculture and Forestry; and Parliamentary Secretary for Employment Protection, Resources and State Development. Mr McRae also held a range of Parliamentary offices including: Acting (Deputised) Speaker of the Legislative Assembly; Chairman Economics and Industry Standing Committee; and Member of the Public Accounts and Joint Standing Committees.His review of the Disability sector established the Australian benchmark for monitoring and directing State funding and services to people with disabilities and their families and carers. WA at the time had the highest State contribution to disability services (a previous Labor Government had been the first in Australia to establish a specific Government portfolio for Disability Services) and Mr McRae led WA's argument in national Ministerial forums for an equitable distribution of Commonwealth Disability funding - one of the leading arguments for the establishment of the National Disability Scheme. Other notable portfolio achievements include finalising expansion of the Dampier-Bunbury Gas pipeline reserve through the controversial Perth-Bunbury corridor; leading negotiations with landholders and conservationists on the State's $350m natural resource management plans; organising opposition to the [Australian Nationalist Movement] fire bombings of Chinese restaurants in 2004; being one of the first political delegation leaders to Indonesia following Timor-Leste's independence, delegation member to China on WA gas trade; education, cultural and trade exchange with Taiwan and leading a review of State and Commonwealth services to migrants and refugees. He was also a delegate/leader of a range of missions to Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Middle East, France, Belgium and the UK on climate change, education, resources development, tourism and agriculture trade. His 4 year term as Chairman of the Economics and Industry Committee included nationally significant inquiries into the deregulation of the dairy industry; the expanding use of strata title in urban housing, the Windimurra vanadium mine, public transport in the south metropolitan corridor and the Bellevue toxic waste facility.Mr McRae resigned as Minister in 2007 in the midst of CCC investigations into lobbyists and business-Government relations and the resignation of a number of Ministers and MPs. The CCC investigation regarding Mr McRae resulted in an adverse report but no evidence of wrongdoing and no formal proceedings - a result that McRae says demonstrates the CCC investigation was politically motivated and the report a tool used to deny him natural justice and procedural fairness against this process.At the 2008 election the Australian Labor Party lost Government with a State-wide swing against it of more than 6.5%. and Mr McRae lost his seat of Riverton by 64 votes (a swing of 2.1%).Mr McRae continues to work as a consultant in climate change, labour market policy, business development and governance.In 2010/11, Mr McRae was a consultant to the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation on a major land and housing development in Roebourne in the Pilbara (Western Australia) and in 2011/13 he led a SMYL Community Services project team on the development of a national labour market and training plan for the Government of Timor-Leste and the International Labor Organisation (ILO).".
