Auditor-General Lyn Provost

An interesting profile in Stuff of Auditor-General Lyn Provost. An interesting extract:

Police Association president Greg O’Connor initially supported Provost’s appointment, until she was given operational command of three police districts. That, he said, was “like an army contingent in East Timor being run by a bureaucrat”. On reflection, though, he thinks she did “a remarkable job”.

Having a civilian in charge of three districts was controversial at the time, but for O’Connor to say she did a remarkable job is high praise.
