My question is to the Prime Minister. The review of public sector board appointments found that the current appointments process is not fit for purpose and often looks like patronage and nepotism. The review found:

… the public's confidence in the integrity of appointments is so low that the clarity and assurance of legislation is required to rebuild trust and embed integrity in board appointment processes.

Can the government explain why they ignored this recommendation to legislate an independent appointment process, instead releasing a seven-dot-point non-binding framework?
