16  Subsection 499(1)
Repeal the subsection, substitute:

 (1) The Minister may give written directions to a person or body having functions or powers under this Act if the directions are about:
 (a) the performance of those functions; or
 (b) the exercise of those powers.

 (1A) For example, a direction under subsection (1) could require a person or body to exercise the power under section 501 instead of the power under section 200 (as it applies because of section 201) in circumstances where both powers apply.

Note: The heading to section 499 of the Migration Act 1958 is altered by omitting "general policy".
