Consumer and Business Services, Workplace Culture

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:56): My question is to the Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector. What actions has he taken personally since the review was tabled in relation to CBS to make sure there is immediate change and accountability?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:57): I thank the honourable member for her question. As I pointed out, I think, in relation to the very first question that was asked in relation to this matter, Consumer and Business Services falls under the Minister for Consumer and Business Services, although it forms part of the Attorney-General's Department. The honourable member would be aware from her time in government, as the only person in the opposition who has spent any time performing executive functions in the government, that there are some departments that various parts of the department report to different ministers, as is the case with CBS under the Attorney-General's Department.

Over the almost 40 pages of the report there were, I think, 26 recommendations made. I understand they have been accepted and are looking to be implemented, but I am happy to go away and if there is further advice about the implementation of the recommendations by another minister I am happy to bring back a further response.
