Personal Explanation

Australian Craniofacial Unit

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart—Minister for Energy and Mining) (12:15): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Yesterday, I stated in the house in answer to a question from the opposition regarding the review commissioned by the government into the selection process at the Australian Craniofacial Unit that, quote, 'they were told by the Premier two or three weeks ago very, very clearly that that review was being undertaken'. On 5 July, the Premier said in this place, quote:

I am seeking an answer from the department and I will come back to you, but I was assured that a merit-based process was entered into for the head of that unit.

The Premier did not announce a review of the selection process for the Australian Craniofacial Unit at that time.
