EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 447
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENT OF THE AIR FORCE REGULATIONS
Section 12 of the Defence Amendment Act 1979 allows the Minister to make interim determinations amending or repealing regulations. The Act also deems such interim determinations to be Statutory Rules.
Air Force Regulations 645A and 647 provide for payment of allowances, including short term duty allowance, to, respectively, members of the Air Force Emergency Force and the Australian Air Force Reserve, who proceed overseas on duty.
These Statutory Rules amend the regulations to omit reference to short term duty travelling allowance which is now payable under Determination 3601, Travelling Allowance, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
The date of effect is the date of signature of Determination 3601.
