Brandis sets up arts appointment mystery

Arts Minister George Brandis says he'll be announcing the appointment of a prominent former Labor politician to a high-profile arts position very soon.

Which high-profile former Labor politician will soon be appointed to a very senior arts-related position?

Arts Minister George Brandis let slip to a Senate committee on Wednesday he'll be giving "one very high profile person of Labor Party association" a job somewhere within his portfolio very soon.

But he was tight-lipped on any further details apart from assuring Labor senator Jacinta Collins she would like the announcement.
