Commonwealth Functions (Statutes Review) Act 1981

For the purpose of facilitating the sale of the rights, property or assets of the Authority and winding up the affairs of the Authority, the Minister may give directions to the Authority in respect of the performance of its functions and duties, and the exercise of its powers, under this Division and under the Ordinance, and the Authority shall comply with any such directions.

If the Authority fails to comply with a direction given to it by the Minister under subsection (1), the Governor‑General may, by instrument in writing under his hand, remove any one or more of the members of the Authority from office.

Where the Governor‑General removes a member of the Authority from office under subsection (2), the Governor‑General may appoint another person as a member of the Authority in place of the member so removed, whether or not the other person would be eligible for appointment under the Ordinance, and a person so appointed holds office during the pleasure of the Governor‑General.

If a member of the Authority who is removed from office by the Governor‑General under subsection (2) was the Chairman, or the Deputy Chairman, of the Authority, the Governor‑General may appoint another member of the Authority to be the Chairman, or the Deputy Chairman, of the Authority, as the case may be.
