The high-profile appointment has raised concerns among some South Australians who believe that a local should have been chosen for the job.
David Koch has been chosen to chair South Australia's Tourism Commission, even though he lives in Sydney.
"It's a little bit weird that he doesn't live in SA - that he's not living here but being the head of it," one said. Premier Peter Malinauskas has defended the decision, highlighting Koch's national profile and financial expertise, which he believes will be valuable in advising small businesses in the tourism sector.
