Ms SCRYMGOUR - 2010-06-10
Can you advise on the appointment of the new NT Anti-Discrimination Commissioner?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, it is with great pleasure I can inform the House that earlier today I announced the appointment of a new Anti-Discrimination Commissioner for the Northern Territory, Eddie Cubillo.
I am very please Eddie Cubillo has accepted the position. He brings to this position extensive experience, working within the Northern Territory government in a variety of roles in Justice and Corrections.
He was born and raised in Darwin but, as I am advised, he has also worked in Alice Springs and Tennant Creek. He is a qualified lawyer, the former Chair of the North Australian Aboriginal Justice Agency, as well as holding the position of the Aboriginal Justice Advisory Committee Chair. He has worked as a solicitor for the NT Legal Aid Commission, and also within government. He is a former Chair of ATSIC at Regional Commissioner level.
His recent experience has been in South Australia, where he worked in the Department of Premier and Cabinet, as well as for a university there. He is well rounded, well experienced, and I have every confidence in him being an appropriate and strong Anti-Discrimination Commissioner for the Northern Territory.
