Appointment of Associate Commissioner to the Productivity Commission

Today I announce the appointment of Mr Paul Lindwall as a full-time Associate Commissioner to assist with the Productivity Commission inquiry into infrastructure costs and financing in Australia.

The financing of infrastructure is one of the key economic challenges facing Australia and other countries around the world.

Mr Lindwall has a strong background in public policy analysis in the Productivity Commission, international agencies and in government departments, including working as a consultant to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Mr Lindwall has been appointed until the end of the six month inquiry.

Further information on the inquiry is available from the Productivity Commission website.
