Government Appointments

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:33): Supplementary: nonetheless, wouldn't the Attorney be concerned at such an appointment, regardless of whether the government makes it or not?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:34): As I have just reiterated, it is not for me to comment on what an independent agency like that does. I think it would be a very fraught thing if members of the government started passing commentary on appointments like that in an independent agency such as that.
