PANGALLO (14:34):</by>  Supplementary: is the Attorney-General aware of complaints by CBS staff, who say the most serious concerns they raised with Ms Cox about the culture within CBS were not reported in the review? Is Ms Cox a hired gun for the department?</text>

MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:34):</by>  Again, I am always very happy to assist my colleagues and comrades in this chamber with information. In relation to the report, I think the reviewer who conducted the review into CBS and who also conducted the earlier review, as I mentioned, into the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions is very highly regarded. I think that the response rates to this particular review, from not just current but former employees, indicate that.</text>
