(1) There are 3,652 people on State Government Boards and Committees where the Board or Committee has a least one paid member, 1,550, or approximately 42%, of whom are women.
(2) I refer the member to the Public Sector Commission report titled "Government Boards and Committees" tabled in the Legislative Assembly on 8 November 2012. No up-to-data database on Boards and Committees existed when this Government came into office in September 2008, and as such this information cannot be accurately identified.
