NOSKE, MS K.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:55): By way of supplementary question, is it correct that the minister discussed the appointment with his chief executive prior to Ms Noske being appointed?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (14:55): No, it is certainly not correct that it was discussed with me.
