Clause 41 of the bill provides:
- (1)
- Each WEA member is to be appointed by the Minister by written instrument.
… … …
- (2)
- A person is not eligible for appointment as a WEA member unless the Minister is satisfied that the person has:
- (a)
- substantial experience or knowledge; and
- (b)
- significant standing;
Then the clause provides quite a list of background expertise through to:
- (n)
- grain handling.
There is a whole range in between that I will not read out. Then it concludes:
- (3)
- A WEA member holds office on a part-time basis.
