192 Removal or suspension of Parliamentary Inspector
The Parliamentary Inspector may, at any time, be suspended or removed from office by the Governor on addresses from both Houses of Parliament.
If the Governor is satisfied that the Parliamentary Inspector —
is incapable of properly performing the duties of office; or
has shown himself or herself incompetent properly to perform, or has neglected, those duties; or
has been guilty of misconduct,
the Governor may suspend the Parliamentary Inspector from office.
If the Parliamentary Inspector has been suspended from office under subsection (2) the Parliamentary Inspector is to be restored to office unless —
a statement of the grounds of the suspension is laid before each House of Parliament during the first 7 sitting days of that House following the suspension; and
each House of Parliament, during the session in which the statement is so laid, and within 30 sitting days of that statement being so laid, passes an address praying for the removal of the Parliamentary Inspector from office.
