Illustration for Independent Police Conduct Authority Act 1988

The Authority has up to 5 members. You find out who they are when the Governor-General appoints them. The Governor-General chooses them based on what the House of Representatives recommends. This rule still applies even if it seems to disagree with section 28(1)(b) of the Crown Entities Act 2004. You can see how the Authority is made up by looking at who is appointed.
