DIRECTOR GENERAL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORT — SELECTION PROCESS
The question is to the Leader of the House representing the Treasurer. I refer to the Director General of the Department of Transport. (1) How far progressed are processes to substantively fill the director general’s position within the Department of Transport? (2) When does the minister expect to announce the successful candidate? The PRESIDENT : Is that question directed to the Leader of the House or the parliamentary secretary to the Treasurer? Hon ALISON XAMON : I am sorry, Mr President. I had originally directed my question to the Minister for Transport, but as it was given to the parliamentary questions team, it directed it in this way. The PRESIDENT : I think the Leader of the House will take ownership of the question. Hon NORMAN MOORE

By way of explanation, the Premier, who has responsibility for public sector management, is responsible for the appointment of CEOs. That is the reason the member asked the question of me. (1) The selection processes for the director general position within the Department of Transport are not yet complete and it would be inappropriate to comment further. (2) The Minister for Transport will announce the successful candidate at the conclusion of the selection process, which is being administered by the Public Sector Commissioner.
