Public sector board appointments will be the focus of an Albanese government review aiming to restore merit to the process and stop political allies from being handed lucrative positions.
Finance and Public Service Minister Katy Gallagher will on Sunday announce the review, pitching it as the latest component of the government’s election promise to bolster trust in public institutions and improve integrity.“This review is all about putting an end to the jobs for mates culture that defined the previous Morrison government’s public sector appointments,” she will say in a speech on Sunday.
The review will focus on making board recruitment more transparent, improving the diversity of board membership and clarifying the role of public sector boards and the skills required. It will also look at how ministers are advised on the selection of board members.Gallagher will tell the Labor-aligned Chifley Research Centre event in Canberra the Morrison government made a mockery of the board appointment system.
