Crown Entities Act 2004

Establishment and governance of Crown entities - Statutory entities - Appointment, removal, and conditions of members

33: Elected, co-opted, etc, members

You could also call this:

"Members chosen in special ways, like being elected or co-opted, have different rules"

Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

When you are a member of a statutory entity, some rules do not apply to you if you were chosen in a special way. You might have been elected, or co-opted, or chosen by a different method that is not by a Minister or the Governor-General. This means that certain sections, like sections 28, 29, 31(1)(a) and (b), and 32, do not apply to you.

If you are appointed by a method other than by a Minister or the Governor-General, and you have to tell people about your interests before you start, then section 31(1)(c) does not apply to you. You have to disclose your interests because of another Act, which is a law that applies to you. This is how it works when you are a member of a statutory entity and you were appointed in a special way.
