[ Many governments behave reprehensibly in their appointments of
pseudo-regulatory roles like this one. But even in a crowded field of
applicants for most-irresponsible agency and Minister, 18 months is
quite a long time to leave someone suspeneded in an acting role.
[ But I guess it takes a long time before public service senior execs
are confident they can trust the appointee to protect the public service
rather than the public. We can't have people getting inflated egos and
acting as if they were actually regulators, now can we.

New South Wales has a new privacy commissioner in Sonia Minutillo, who
has led the Information and Privacy Commission NSW’s regulatory
functions for the best part of a decade.
Ms Minutillo, who has been acting in the role since long-time privacy
commissioner Samantha Gavel left in September 2023, was appointed for a
five year term on Thursday.
She has spent almost 12 years with the Information and Privacy
Commission NSW, including seven years as the director of investigations
and reporting and a stint as acting information commissioner.
Before joining the privacy watchdog in 2013, Ms Minutillo spent eight
years at Greenacres Disability Services and five years as an
investigator at NSW Industrial Relations before that.
Announcing her appointment, NSW Customer Service and Digital Government
minister Jihad Dib said Ms Minutillo would play an important role in
ensuring personal information is handled responsibly.
“Ms Minutillo has demonstrated her expertise in this area while acting
as privacy commissioner over the past 18 months, drawing on her
experience leading programs in the fields of industrial relations and
employment rights and obligations…”.
