Before making a government policy order that applies in relation to a wholly-owned Commonwealth company, the Finance Minister must be satisfied that the Minister responsible for the policy has consulted the company on the application of the policy.

93(3)    
If a government policy order applies in relation to a wholly-owned Commonwealth company, the directors of the company must ensure that the order is complied with:

(a)    in relation to the company; and

(b)    in relation to any subsidiary of the company, so far as practicable.

A government policy order is a legislative instrument, but section 42 (disallowance) of the Legislation Act 2003 does not apply to it.
