20 Racing club—appointment of administrator (1) The Minister may, if advised to do so by the commission following an inquiry, suspend the appointments of the directors of the racing club and appoint an administrator to deal with its affairs until such time as new directors can conveniently be appointed in accordance with its constitution. Note For the making of appointments, see the Legislation Act, pt 19.3. (2) If the Minister acts under subsection (1), the Minister must ensure that, not later than 7 sitting days after the day the Minister takes the action— (a) the Legislative Assembly is told of the action; and (b) a copy of the commission’s advice is presented to the Assembly. (3) To remove any doubt, the Legislation Act, division 19.3.3 does not apply to an appointment of an administrator under subsection (1).
