The Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question:

Five people were approached by the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations exploring if they wished to submit an expression of interest in being appointed as a member of Fair Work Australia. Two of those people, Ms Anna Booth and Mr David Gregory, expressed interest, were assessed as suitable for appointment by the selection panel and were subsequently appointed. It would be inappropriate to provide the names of the other persons who chose not to submit an expression of interest.
