Mental Health Commission

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (14:50): A further supplementary: did the minister meet with Commissioner Burns to discuss this change of plans prior to publishing the advertisements for the part-time positions?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:50): I'm not exactly sure what I am being asked here. If I am being asked did I discuss with Commissioner Burns the possibility of part-time commissioners, the ad, and so forth, I haven't engaged Commissioner Burns in the selection process. I would have thought that if the honourable member is expecting Mr Burns to be an applicant, it may well be inappropriate for him to be consulted on the selection process.
