Illustration for Crown Entities Act 2004

When a Crown entity is making a statement of intent, a Minister can be involved in deciding what it says. A Minister can agree with the Crown entity to include extra information in the statement, beyond what is required by section 141. The Minister can also tell the Crown entity how to present certain information in the statement.

A Minister can make comments on a draft statement of intent, as outlined in section 146, or on changes the Crown entity wants to make, as outlined in section 148. The Minister can also direct the Crown entity to make changes to certain information in the statement, as outlined in section 147. This means the Minister has some control over what the statement of intent says and how it is presented.
