Under section 69, the minister may by legislative instrument make rules prescribing matters. They would be disallowable. It's essentially prescribing matters required or permitted by this act to be prescribed by rules or necessary or convenient to be prescribed for carrying out or giving effect to this act. Under the explanatory memorandum, which deals with this, the minister may make rules prescribing codes of conduct, details of a matter that must or must not be included in a public report, under clause 22, remuneration and allowances to be paid to the CEO, or members of the PWSS advisory board, matters relating to the operation of the PWSS advisory board, provision for or in relation to the PWSS consultative committee or a Commonwealth entity, office or appointment under the law of the Commonwealth for the purposes of giving information to the PWSS for certain reports.

There are some examples of the rule-making power.
