Ms CARTER - 2002-05-14
After less than 12 months into the job, Dr Haydn Lowe has resigned because he does not agree with the way the department is implementing your strategies. Have you investigated this claim? Do you plan to investigate it, or is this also an area that has nothing to do with you?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I am sure the member for Port Darwin has some idea of the Public Sector Employment and Management Act and the role of the minister in departments. The relationship does not involve me becoming involved in personnel matters. This is an operational matter which is being handled by my CEO, as it should be. This is something which should be handled by the CEO and also the Office of the Commissioner for Public Employment.
