To conclude, I say that we are taking action to ensure that the course of action that is available to that gentleman will be proceeded with.
Canberra Development Board
MRS NOLAN: My question is to the Minister for Industry, Employment and Education and it relates to the membership of the Canberra Development Board. When does the Minister intend to announce the membership of the Canberra Development Board, given the fact that he announced one member's name at the small business awards luncheon on Monday?
MR WHALAN: Mr Speaker, I was planning to announce the membership of the Canberra Development Board in a more formal manner, but I now am in a position to announce that membership. The chairperson, who was appointed quite some time ago, is Mr Fulton Muir, and we are very fortunate to have his services. The other members include Mr George Snow, Mrs Maggie Shepherd, Ms Amanda Harkness, Ms Kate Lundy, Mr Peter Cheng and Professor Ian Ross.
Mr Fulton Muir was appointed for a period of three years. As members know, he is a former chief manager of Westpac in the Canberra district and has had very extensive experience in the banking arena. Mr George Snow has been appointed for a period of three years. He is the joint managing director of the Capital Properties Group and is also the chairman of the Canberra Association for Regional Development.
Mrs Maggie Shepherd has been appointed for three years and is well known in Canberra as a fashion designer with international links. For the past 10 years she has been managing director of her company which won the manufacturing first prize in the 1986 Canberra small business awards. Ms Amanda Harkness has also been appointed for three years and is currently a partner with Freehill, Hollingdale and Page, one of Australia's largest law firms. She has an extensive practice in commercial matters; her particular field of expertise covers the telecommunications and high-technology industries, fundraising through equity and investment vehicles and joint ventures. One of the particularly notable aspects of Ms Amanda Harkness is that she is a product of the local education system, having graduated as dux of Melrose High School in 1974 and also having completed an honours degree in economics and law at the Australian National University.
Ms Kate Lundy is a representative of the Trades and Labour Council and is currently vice-president of the ACT branch of the Building Workers Industrial Union. She was educated
