WEST Australian Premier Colin Barnett has defended the state government's efficiency at passing legislation, saying parliamentarians shouldn't be rushed to vote on bills.
The state government has come under fire for not introducing by the end of this year a planned law that would send violent home invaders straight to jail.
It was the first election pledge by the Liberals in February before they convincingly won a second term.
And parliamentary debate over some of the bills that have been introduced has become bogged down, with a proposed law to increase regulation of the taxi industry descending into filibustering.
But Mr Barnett said he wasn't going to rush, reintroducing bills when necessary.
"Given there was a significant number of new members, I was not going to simply reinstate legislation at the stage it was before the election," he told reporters on Friday.
"That would have meant you would have had a significant number of members of parliament voting or conceding, if you like, on legislation that they hadn't had the chance to see.
"So I said we would actually go back and reintroduce legislation that had not finished its passage.
"I think that was a very proper thing to do."
Mr Barnett said he hoped bills on workplace reform, amalgamation of port operators, and the merger of utilities Verve and Synergy would be passed through the upper house next week.
Thursday was the last sitting day of the year for the Legislative Assembly but the Legislative Council has another week.
