Chapter 20 - Relations with the judiciary
Other office-holders
Various statutes passed by the Parliament provide for independent and
quasi-judicial office-holders other than judges to be removed on address of
both Houses, including the Auditor-General,
members of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal, and the Commonwealth Ombudsman.
The stated grounds for removal vary, but generally refer to misbehaviour and
incapacity. There are no precedents of these provisions being activated, but
many of the considerations analysed in this chapter may be applicable to them.
