Ministerial Determinations under s 23 of the Housing Act 1982 (NT) setting rent for a class of remote dwellings are not subject to s 41 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1999 (NT) and do not attract an obligation to afford procedural fairness to individual tenants, as the power is of a policy or political nature affecting tenants only as members of a class. The question whether a Determination concerning a single dwelling would attract procedural fairness obligations was expressly left open.
