Crown Entities Act 2004

Establishment and governance of Crown entities - Statutory entities - Role and accountability of members

26: Accountability of members to responsible Minister

You could also call this:

"Members of a group must follow rules and answer to a Minister for their actions."

If you are a member of a statutory entity, you must follow the rules. You have to comply with the board's duties, which are outlined in sections 49 to 52, and your own individual duties, which are in sections 53 to 57. You also have to follow any directions given to the entity under subpart 1 of Part 3.

As a member, you are responsible to the Minister for doing your job properly. This means you have to perform your duties as a member. The Minister is the person you are accountable to for your actions as a member.
