14 Ministerial directions
(1) The Minister may, by legislative instrument, give directions to the Board: (a) in relation to the performance of functions, and the exercise of powers, of Creative Australia; or (b) requiring the provision of a report or advice on a matter that relates to any of Creative Australia’s functions or powers.
Note: Section 42 (disallowance) and Part 4 of Chapter 3 (sunsetting) of the Legislation Act 2003 do not apply to the directions (see regulations made for the purposes of paragraphs 44(2)(b) and 54(2)(b) of that Act).
(2) The Minister must not give a direction in relation to the making of a decision by Creative Australia, in a particular case, relating to the provision of support (including by the provision of financial assistance or a guarantee). (3) The Board must ensure that any direction given by the Minister under subsection (1) is complied with. (4) This section does not limit the operation of section 19 of the PGPA Act (which deals with the duty to keep the responsible Minister and Finance Minister informed).
