Ministerial Appointments

PRIME MINISTER
FOR MEDIA 4 APRIL 1989

Following this morning's Caucus meeting, I will be recommending to His Excellency the Governor-General, the Honourable Bill Hayden AC, that he make the following ministerial appointments:

  • the Hon Ros Kelly MP to be appointed as Minister for Telecommunications and Aviation Support; and
  • Mr David Simmons MP to be appointed as Minister for Defence Science and Personnel.

I will be proposing to the Governor-General that the swearing-in take place on Thursday 6 April.

I am confident that in their new roles Mrs Kelly and Mr Simmons will make a significant contribution to the quality of my Ministry.
