158A   Act not to apply to judicial or parliamentary officers

(1988 Act, s 4)

This Act does not apply to any of the following positions or to any person holding such a position (except to the extent that a provision of this Act otherwise expressly provides):

(a)  any position of a judicial officer within the meaning of the Judicial Officers Act 1986,

(b)  any position of officer of either House of Parliament or any position under the separate control of the President or Speaker, or under their joint control.

Note. Parliamentary officers do, however, comprise a public sector service (see paragraph (e) of that definition in section 3). Accordingly, provisions of this Act relating to public sector ethics (Part 1.2), the functions of the Public Service Commissioner (Part 1.3), staff mobility (Part 3.2) and certain other provisions that generally deal with employees in a public sector service (such as sections 100, 102 and 103) apply to parliamentary officers.
