Broadcasting Standards Authority

28: Continuation of membership

You could also call this:

"Staying a member of the Broadcasting Standards Authority after your term ends"

Illustration for Broadcasting Act 1989

You can stay a member of the Broadcasting Standards Authority even if your term ends or you resign. The Minister can ask you to keep acting like a member for a proceeding you were part of before you left. If you agree, you will be considered a member for that purpose for a period of time decided by the Minister. This rule applies even if it contradicts section 45 of the Crown Entities Act 2004. You will be treated as a member for the proceeding, but only for as long as the Minister says. The Minister's request can be made if a proceeding started before you left the Authority.
