The Hon. D.G. PISONI (Unley) (14:32): Supplementary question: why is the minister satisfied with the review?

The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills) (14:32): Because, as I said, I believe, in the answer I gave before the member for Unley's supplementary question, I asked the department if they would review the matter, the department reviewed the matter and they found that the process was conducted appropriately and in accordance with a merit selection process. The findings of that review were then communicated, I think, on 6 October to the person from the panel who made the original complaint about that appointment process.

I am not sure over and above that what the member for Unley would suggest that I should do—if I should simply not be taking the advice of an independent review process conducted by the department. I am open to your suggestions on that, member for Unley, but I am confident that the process has been reviewed appropriately and, as I said, I completely understand it is not the outcome that the community were looking for, but I think the review was appropriate and a decision has now been made and communicated.
