My question is to the Attorney-General and Minister for Industrial Relations, Senator Cash. Within weeks of being appointed to the new portfolios of Attorney-General and Minister for Industrial Relations, the minister appointed Ms Alana Matheson, a former Liberal Party deputy mayor of Campbelltown, to a 26-year long, $10 million post to the Fair Work Commission. Can the minister confirm that Ms Matheson is one of 13 former Liberal MPs and political staffers who have been appointed to the plum federal government jobs since the start of this year?
