Government Boards and Committees

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:11): Can the minister confirm that now the chief executive of tourism will report to the minister rather than the board, if the board is abolished?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:12): As I have just said, my understanding is that a review of the whole structure will be put in place to replace the board. I don't know the details of that. I think minister Bignell would be undertaking a process to do that, so I am not going to try to second-guess the outcome of that.
