DEPARTMENT FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT - DIRECTOR GENERAL
I refer to the Premier’s description of the former Minister for Community Development as a diligent, committed and outstanding minister. As the Minister for Public Sector Management, responsible for the appointment of directors general, does that description also apply to the Director General of the Department for Community Development, Jane Brazier? Mr A.J. CARPENTER

I have no reason to have anything other than confidence in that appointee. I have previously reflected upon the interesting tactic of the opposition in these matters. It is seeking to attribute blame to one particular person. Clearly the opposition has no idea of the issue and it has learnt nothing in the course of the debate over the past week or so.
