a duty of good conduct on the part of the members of the SLA board. Individual board members will owe a duty to the minister, when acting as a board member, to act in good faith, not to pursue personal interests at the expense of the agency’s interests, not to use board membership to gain personal advantage and not to cause detriment to the agency or undermine the reputation of the agency. This provision operates, as section 19 of the bill does, to supplement the duties of territory authority board members as set out in the Financial Management Act 1996.
