9C Standing Committee may veto proposed recommendation
If the Premier proposes to recommend the appointment of a person under section 9A(1) or 14(1), the Premier must give the Standing Committee written notice of the proposed recommendation.

if, within 14 days beginning on the day (notification day) on which the Premier gives notice under subsection (1), the Standing Committee gives the Premier written notice that it requires further time to consider the proposed recommendation — 44 days beginning on notification day; or
otherwise — 14 days beginning on notification day.
This section does not apply if —
there is no Standing Committee; or
the Premier proposes to recommend the appointment of a person under section 14(1)(a) and section 14(2C) applies in relation to the proposed recommendation.
