State Development Department

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (16:30): A further supplementary question arising out of the minister's answer: under the government's new arrangements, do the existing CEOs—and then after 1 July will the new CEO, whoever he or she is—report to the minister for some of minister Gago's portfolio responsibilities?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (16:30): I just seek clarity. I do not really understand the question. Could you just pose it in a different way?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: If I could just clarify my question, that is, under the current arrangements up to 1 July, while we still have two chief executive officers, will those chief executive officers be reporting to minister Gago for some of her portfolio responsibilities, and after 1 July will the new CEO also be reporting to minister Gago for some of her responsibilities as the Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO: I have been appointed the minister responsible for the administration of this new department, so the acting chief executive for the new department will report to me and obviously to other relevant ministers, depending on the particular responsibilities or projects that are undertaken, and in the interim, in relation to the DFEEST responsibilities, Ray Garrand will be reporting to me on those as well as the transition arrangements for the new department.
