In an effort to “streamline” decision-making, the requirements of Indigenous representation and that women make up at least 50 per cent of members were scrapped, and the total number of members was reduced from 24 to 15. There are six men and nine women on the new board. Former world No.1 golfer and now businessman Greg Norman has been renominated to the board after losing his seat when Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s picks were reduced from four members to one, and he selected federal Minister for Sport Anika Wells over Norman. In a document obtained by this masthead through a freedom-of-information request, the federal government had set June 30 as the deadline to ask the Queensland government for extra nominations, citing the importance of having a “strong voice on the board to guide decision-making”. Though they did not receive additional nominations, two of their original four representatives, Norman and Gold Coast Titans co-owner and businesswoman Rebecca Frizelle, have been re-nominated by Queensland Minister for the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tim Mander as “independent directors”. Mander was once an NRL referee.
