DALY HEADS REVIEW BODY
11.10.1989

Daly heads review body FORMER Drought Secretariat head Mr Dan Daly has been appointed to a technical committee reviewing drought strategy within the Primary Industries Department.
Mr Daly was moved from his position by the former Minister, Mr Harper, after a controversial memo was leaked warning against drought-aid abuse.
The contents of the memo were a key factor in the setting up of the parliamentary public accounts committee inquiry into drought administration.
The PAC report found the concerns expressed by Mr Daly were confirmed and that his arbitrary removal from the secretariat was not justified.
The Primary Industries Minister, Mr Stoneman, announced the appointment yesterday.
