Environment, Water and Natural Resources Department Chief Executive

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:25): My question is directed to the Minister for the Environment. Was a selection panel convened for the position of Chief Executive Officer of Department for Environment, Water and Natural Resources, and was Ms Sandy Pitcher an applicant for the position considered by the selection panel?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (14:26): To the best of my knowledge, there was a selection panel put in place. I cannot immediately recall who was on it, but I can find out that information for the honourable member and bring back a response in relation to both his questions.
