Commissioner for Public Employment

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (16:09): A supplementary. Why can't the minister give the house a guarantee that it will be advertised and there will be an open, merit-based appointment process for that position?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade, Minister for the Public Sector) (16:09): I will take advice on the most appropriate ways in order to undertake a merit-based approach to determination. I know that advertisement is not the only way to do that, for example.
