Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

You can be removed from the Film and Literature Board of Review at any time if you cannot do your job, go bankrupt, neglect your duties, or behave badly. The Governor-General can remove you if the Minister recommends it. You can also resign from the Board by writing to the Minister. If you die, resign, or are removed from the Board, your position will be filled in the same way it was when you were appointed. This means a new person will be chosen to take your place on the Board. The new person will be appointed in the same manner as you were.
