The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:20): Supplementary: will you approve terms and conditions and question why Mr King has been put forward when he wasn't even an applicant for that job?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:20): I thank the honourable member for his question. As I said, I have not approved terms and conditions. I have asked for further information, including how the process previously ran and the decision in relation to the new board, who are, within their power, capable of making a different decision to the old board who have put this forward. So I have asked for further information and I have not approved terms and conditions at this stage.
