Nominations for ABC Board

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Friends of the ABC : One Thread

Are nominations being called for members of the ABC board. If so, what are the details?

I sent an email to fabc today on the same subject.

No, as a rule the government, which appoints the members of the ABC Board, does not call for nominations. The appointments are made by Cabinet, and are not publicly discussed until after the appointment has been announced. Since most Board members terms of office expire at different times, appointments are normally made one at a time. Both the Coalition and the Labor Party have tended to appoint people associated with their party, or believed to be sympatheic to their policies.
