EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1983 NO 259
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.
Regulations 577, 578 and 579 of the Air Force Regulations provide for payment of travelling allowance to a member who makes an authorized journey within Australia whilst on duty, posting or termination of service.
These Statutory Rules amend regulations 577, 578 and 579 to prevent the payment of Travelling Allowance to a member during travel on the termination of his service because, with the making of Determination 0405, Allowance Payable for Travel on Termination of Service, under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903, he becomes entitled to the reimbursement of his travelling costs under that determination.
The date of effect is the date on which Determination 0405 is made.
