Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

These Regulations set a salary threshold that triggers Ministerial approval for appointments in the wool industry.

What it does:

Fixes the amount at $9,500 per year (in 1967 dollars)
When a wool industry body wants to pay someone more than this amount, they must get approval from the Minister for Primary Industry

Who it affects:

Wool industry organisations operating under the Wool Industry Act (such as the Australian Wool Board)
Senior staff or appointees whose packages exceed the threshold

Why it matters: This creates a check on high salaries in government-backed industry bodies, ensuring taxpayers and wool growers (through industry levies) don't fund excessive remuneration without ministerial oversight.
