I am pleased to present the Merit Protection Commissioner’s report for the period 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007 as part of the Public Service Commissioner’s Annual Report required by section 51 of the Public Service Act 1999.

This report is prepared in accordance with the guidelines approved on behalf of the Parliament by the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit as required by subsection 51(2) of the Public Service Act 1999. In accordance with the provisions of the Public Service Act 1999 detailing the administrative arrangements to support the performance of the Merit Protection Commissioner’s functions, some of the required information is published within the Public Service Commissioner’s Annual Report.

In presenting you with the report on the activities of the Merit Protection Commissioner I would like to pay tribute to Mr Jeff Lamond PSM who occupied the office of the Merit Protection Commissioner for most of the reporting period. I also take this opportunity to express my thanks to the staff of the Australian Public Service Commission for their assistance.
