Illustration for Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act 2014

The chief executive can choose one or more lawyers to be independent inspectors for this Act. You will know who they are because the chief executive will send them a written notice saying they are inspectors. The chief executive must make sure there are enough inspectors at all times to make this Act work. The chief executive must also make sure that inspectors are not working for the department in any other way. The Minister can decide how much inspectors get paid, and they can change this amount or how it is paid, but they must agree with the Minister of Finance first, you can see similar rules in the Public Safety (Public Protection Orders) Act related legislation.
