South Australian Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs Commission

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:34): My question is to the Premier. What criteria did the Premier use in appointing new members to the Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs Commission board?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:35): That was a series of appointments that was considered by cabinet, so I won't go into the specific details. I think it wouldn't be something that would be lost on those opposite that we wanted to have a broad representation of different ethnicities and different backgrounds for those people who serve on the board.

As I said, for the people who are serving on this board, we won't be having them serve five, 10, 15 or 20 years on the new board. We would like to be able to cycle people through that board. I think that serving one or two years on the board, going forward, is the ideal, because it creates that opportunity for new and emerging people in different multicultural groups to have the opportunity to serve on the commission.
