Source: Western Australia. Premier. Media Release
"A new era of public service management and accountability begins with the commencement of the new Western Australian Public Sector Commission. The commission, headed by long-standing career public servant Mr Mal Wauchope, provide leadership to the public sector, enhancing its independence, professionalism and integrity. The commission fulfils a key 100-day election commitment of the Liberal-National Government. Premier Colin Barnett said the new department and commissioner were positive steps towards better government and a better State. “The separation of functions between the commission and the department gives clearer lines of duty and focus that will result in a more independent and professional public service with the community benefiting from better government as a result,” Mr Barnett said."
