Commissioner for Public Sector Employment

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (15:07): To the Premier again, did the Minister for the Public Sector take a submission to cabinet on 7 April this year which indicated that she would be proposing in a future cabinet submission that Ms Erma Ranieri be appointed as the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (15:07): Obviously we don't answer questions about what matters go to cabinet and what are the deliberations of cabinet, so I am certainly not going to be answering that question. One only needs to reflect on my earlier answer to understand that, in bringing together two parts of government—one of them has an incumbent, the other one has a vacancy—obviously considerations would be given to the person who is the incumbent and continuing to pool the merged roles, and that is the process that we are presently considering.
