Geoff Browne has been appointed as the next Small Business Commissioner.

I have been told that Mr Browne was formerly a Deputy Director of Consumer Affairs Victoria and that his appointment was effective yesterday.

Peter Lisle has been Acting Small Business Commissioner for about the last 18 months.  Mr Lisle did an excellent job as Acting Commissioner.  I have been told that he has taken a senior position at Small Business Victoria.
