DEC must now start looking forward, says new Member

Juan, along with fellow MLC Tony Wild were added to the Department after MHK’s Zac Hall and John Houghton were removed last week.

They were sacked following differences of opinion with their Minister about his proposed policy to privatise the nurseries.

Speaking about the fresh challenge Mr Turner said it’s important that thoughts now turn to the future so the Department can move on and continue to tackle the problems posed by the budget deficit.
