Monday, 9 February 2015 House of Representatives

Anthony Albanese

Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Minister for Infrastructure and Transport

asked the Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development, in writing, on 23 September 2014:

In which publications has the new position of Chief Executive Officer of Infrastructure Australia been advertised.

Warren Truss

Warren Truss Wide Bay, National Party, Leader of the Nationals

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.
