Northern Economic Plan

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:08): A supplementary question: the minister had to read out the response that had been written for him, but my question remains. The minister indicates that he is going to appoint soon the chair. Has he appointed already, or is he also going to appoint soon, the other members of the Northern Economic and Social Implementation Board? That was my question.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (15:09): I think I could repeat my whole answer, but the nucleus of that group—the chief executives, the councils and people from the state government—meet regularly and they will be having more people join them in the near future.
