Agricultural Industry Development Act 1990

If satisfied that circumstances make it advisable, the Governor in Council may, by Order published in the Government Gazette, dismiss all the members for the time being of a Committee.

Such an Order takes effect on publication or on a later date specified in the Order.

By such an Order the Governor in Council may also appoint an administrator to assume control of the Committee's affairs pending the appointment of new members.

An administrator—

has all the powers and may perform all the functions of the Committee, subject only to any conditions or limitations imposed by the Governor in Council; and

is for all purposes to be taken to be the Committee.

Nothing done by the Committee shall be in any way abated or affected by the dismissal of Committee members, or the appointment of an administrator, under this section.

The terms of an administrator's appointment shall be as fixed by the Governor in Council.

As soon as practicable after an Order is published under this section the Minister must cause a report on the dismissal of the Committee, including the reasons for the dismissal, to be laid before each House of Parliament.

A member dismissed under this section is eligible for re-appointment to the Committee.

The reasonable costs and expenses (including remuneration) of the administrator are payable from the funds of the Committee.
