166B: Delegation of Chief of Authority’s functions, duties, or powers
or “The boss of the work problem-solving group can ask someone else to do their job when they're away or busy.”
You could also call this:

“The Governor-General chooses people to be part of the Authority when the Minister suggests them.”

The Governor-General chooses who gets to be a member of the Employment Relations Authority. But the Governor-General doesn’t do this alone. The Minister tells the Governor-General who they think should be a member. The Governor-General then agrees with the Minister’s choice and makes that person a member. This is how all members of the Authority are picked.
