Relevant notes from the explanatory memorandum

103. Subsection (1) ensures that members of Houses of the Parliament are appointed directors (in this case, legislative directors).  Subsection (2) clarifies the position of alternate members, who are also to be appointed alternate directors (alternate legislative directors).

104. It is important that members of Houses are appointed directors because of their principal role in the system of government; and as the powers of the management a company are taken to be exercised by the directors, the lawmakers, as the principal delegators of such power, must be appointed directors in order for the system of government to translate to the lawful exercise of the overarching legislative power of Urabba Parks.
