82341 (2024). Hon Dr Duncan Webb to the Minister of Justice: Why was Dr Rainbow informed that he was not the preferred candidate for appointment as Chief Human Rights Commissioner?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: The update was provided a courtesy as the appointment process can be protracted. Dr Rainbow was advised that there was a process that needed to be undertaken before an appointment could be finalised. The advice therefore did not rule out the possibility that selection decisions may be revisited.
