When a chief executive is hiring staff to work with Ministers, they must think about what the Minister wants. The chief executive is in charge of a department or a group that works with many Ministers. They need to consider the Minister's wishes when choosing staff.
If you are ministerial staff, section 72 does not apply to you. This means that some rules that apply to other staff do not apply to you. You are treated differently because you work with Ministers.
