Thank you, Senator Murray. Appointments are made in Executive Council in accordance with the processes that the Governor-General participates in, together with ministers. The method of appointment is the same, as I have said, for Commonwealth statutory authorities. As with all of the deliberations of the Executive Council they are private deliberations, but that it is our Constitution.
