The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:

The Board agreed to continue Mr John Fitzgerald as Acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for an interim period. The position of CEO is the responsibility of the new Board of Infrastructure Australia. I understand the executive recruitment firm Korn Ferry has been engaged to oversee the search for candidates for the role and that the position has been advertised in the national press.
