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.
