Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts(1) This section applies if—
(a) a person holds 2 or more positions under this Act; and
(b) the person is a member of the commission because of each of the positions.
Example
The discrimination commissioner may be appointed to be the human rights commissioner.
Note An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
(2) The person is only entitled to 1 vote at commission meetings.
(3) In working out whether 1 / 2 the members are present at a meeting for section 32 (Quorum at meetings), the number of members is taken to be the number of individuals who are members.
Example
If the discrimination commissioner is also the human rights commissioner, the number of members is taken to be 4. Therefore, 2 members (rather than 3) would need to be present at a meeting to carry on business.
Note An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
