132 Minister may direct licensee to terminate certain contractual arrangements
If a person who is a contractor of a licensee does not comply with a direction given to the person under clause 131, the Minister may, by notice in writing, direct the licensee to terminate, within a time specified in the notice, the contract or other arrangement under which the person is a contractor of the licensee.
A licensee who does not comply with a notice given to the licensee under this clause is guilty of an offence.
Maximum penalty—50 penalty units.
It is taken to be a condition of any contract or other arrangement entered into between a licensee and a contractor that the licensee has the rights required to enable the licensee to give effect to a direction to which this clause applies.
Any such termination of a contract or other arrangement has effect accordingly, and neither the State nor the Minister incurs any liability by reason of that termination.
The Minister may exempt specified contracts or other arrangements or specified classes of contracts or other arrangements from the operation of this clause. The effect of such an exemption is that a contract or other arrangement to which the exemption applies cannot be the subject of a direction under this clause.
