This instrument narrows how the Remuneration Tribunal Act applies to a small set of appointments: it prescribes certain roles as not ‘‘public offices’’, excludes the ABC staff‑elected Director and some holders of judicial office from particular s7 rules, and confirms that s8 governs entitlement to pay for judicial‑office holders (including Administrative Appeals Tribunal members) from its commencement. It changes which appointees are covered by Tribunal‑set remuneration and therefore alters who can claim pay under the Tribunal’s rules.
