Homelessness

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (15:14): Supplementary arising from the minister's original answer: who was responsible for selecting Mr Cox for this role?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (15:14): As I outlined on radio last week, there was a competitive process which was, I think, undertaken by the department. Whether there was a recruitment agency or not involved, I am not 100 per cent sure, but it was a competitive process and I understand it was advertised in the usual processes.

The PRESIDENT: Supplementary, the Hon. Mr Hunter.
