EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1983 NO. 12
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.
Sub-regulations 645A(2) and 647(2) of the Air Force Regulations cover, respectively, allowances for members of the Air Force Emergency Force, and allowances and other benefits for members of the Citizen Air Force.
These Statutory Rules amend those sub-regulations to include “oversea outfit allowance” among those allowances that may be paid to members of the Air Force Emergency Force and the Citizen Air Force at the same rates and subject to the same conditions as those that apply to members of the Permanent Air Force.
