Ken Henry AC

Members noted that this was the final meeting for Ken Henry and Donald McGauchie. Both had served two terms on the Board, covering a period of 10 years, with professionalism and distinction. Their skills, extensive knowledge and broad-ranging experience had contributed enormously to the deliberations of the Board, both on monetary policy and other matters. Mr McGauchie had also chaired the Board's Remuneration Committee over the past eight years. Members thanked Dr Henry and Mr McGauchie for their contributions and wished them well in the future.

The Governor paid tribute to Professor McKibbin's active and probing role as a Board member, which had been based on his wide expertise in the field of international economics, an expertise widely recognised both in Australia and around the world. Members recorded their appreciation for Professor McKibbin's contribution to the sound conduct of monetary policy throughout his time on the Board. Members wished him well in the future.
