May I ask how you cal ed for public nomination and on what platform you have
cal for public nominations e.g. govt.jobs website. A copy of your ad as wel and
pay rate. Also, how many applications you have received for each of the role
from the public and how many you have received from other nominating
agencies such as TPK or Ministry of women etc for your role. How many you
have shortlisted and how many you have interviewed.
Also, can I request to view the appointment letter if there is one sent to the
Alastair Charles Hercus. I am happy for you to remove any relevant personal
information.
Besides meeting fees, do they receive any other benefits, such as expense
reimbursement (If so, may I request to view your expense reimbursement policy
in relation to your board member), a laptop, ID card, phone, or similar
provisions?
I do not hold the requested information relating to ‘expense reimbursement and any
other benefits’ and believe it is held by the Natural Hazards Commission. Accordingly, I
have decided under section 14(b)(i) of the OIA to transfer this part of your request to
the Natural Hazards Commission. The other parts of your request have not been
transferred, and I wil respond in due course.
The Natural Hazards Commission has 20 working days from receipt of this transfer to
make a decision on your request.
Yours sincerely
Hon Nicola Wil is
Minister of Finance
