Nuclear Fuel Cycle Citizens' Jury

In reply to the Hon. K.L. VINCENT (19 October 2016).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy): The Premier has provided the following advice:

Juror recruitment was managed by the newDemocracy Foundation, an independent research organisation, who advised on the community engagement strategy and design.

Using Australia Post's database, newDemocracy Foundation created a random sample of 25,000 addresses for the first jury and 10,000 for the second. Invitations were sent to these addresses, inviting the occupants to register their interest. Of the 1,500 registrations of interest, newDemocracy selected 52 jurors for the first jury and a further 300 for the second jury, matching participants to the census profile of the state based on gender, age, location and home ownership.

Jurors were not asked to identify whether they had a disability.
