@Reefton your question prompted me to go back to the legislation. It would appear that the Minister appoints the Board (s45) and the Board, as part of its responsibilities, employs and trains stewards and investigators, and appoints adjudicative committees and appeals tribunals (s44). The Board is required to prepare and provide a statement of intent (s47) and an annual report (s49) to the Minister. So it would appear, in the absence of any other direction in the Act, that any compliant in respect of employees or appointees of the Board should be addressed by the Board itself (rather than the CE) and any compliant in respect of the Board should be addressed to the Minister (given the reporting requirements) ... Am I missing something, except perhaps any accountability measures being explicitly built into the statute?
