What other Federal Govt agencies have an "experienced industry operator" at the helm?
Does the banking regulator have an ex-banker? Would any of us think that is a good outcome?
Does the health regulator AHPRA have a Doctor in command? if so why not a Nurse?
Does the Education dept have a Teacher or a school principal?
While it makes sense to us, does it make sense from a best-outcomes-from-public -policy angle?
The answer to all those questions is yes!!
The banking/insurance regulator are all from that sector
The health regulator are all boards filled with their own. The national board has a mixture of people and their website makes a point that they have a bunch of health professionals
The CEO whilst not a medico has been on the WHO.
The Secretary of the Federal Education department was once a teacher it would appear.
