Attorney-General Christian Porter said the appointees all have a high level of expertise in economics and that their backgrounds in industry or social policy make them highly qualified for appointment.

All have been appointed as part-time expert panel members for five years from 12 March 2020.
Mr Ferguson was formerly Federal Minister for Resources and Energy and Minister for Tourism (2007-2013) and he has been general secretary of the Federated Miscellaneous Workers’ Union of Australia, president of the Australian Council of Trade Unions and a member of the governing body of the United Nations’ International Labour Office.
