Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act 1983 No. 6 of 1983 - SECT 50

50. (1) The Managing Director-

   (a)  is responsible for ensuring that the Corporation operates in such a
        manner as to make as efficient and economical use of the services of
        its employees as is practicable; and

   (b)  without limiting the generality of paragraph (a)-

        (i)    shall give all such directions, and do all such things, as can
               be given or done by him for ensuring that the procedures set
               out in a notice in force under section 49 are given effect to
               in the administration of the affairs of the Corporation; and

        (ii)   shall cause each employee who, in accordance with the
               procedures set out in a notice in force under section 49, is
               identified as an employee whose services cannot, for a reason
               referred to in sub-paragraph 48 (b) (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv),
               reasonably be used by the Corporation on appropriate duties, to
               be declared, by instrument in writing, to be, for that reason,
               eligible for redeployment in accordance with this Subdivision.

(2) Nothing in sub-section (1) requires or authorizes the making of an
instrument declaring an employee to be eligible for redeployment in accordance
with this Subdivision if the employee was identified, under a relevant notice
under section 49, as an employee whose services cannot reasonably be used by
the Corporation on appropriate duties for the reason that he is inefficient or
incompetent for causes within his own control.

(3) The duties imposed on the Managing Director under sub-paragraph (1) (b)
(ii) shall be deemed to be powers to which section 24 applies.
