EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 379
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 121 and 134 of the Air Force Regulations provide for the granting of leave of absence without pay to a member of the Air Force for a period not exceeding one year and describe the effect of that leave on service for other purposes. Regulation 533 of the Air Force Regulations provides that a member shall not be entitled to any salary or allowances while on leave without pay.
This Interim Determination: repeals regulations 121 and 533 and omits sub-regulation 134(1), which have been replaced by Determination 2608, Leave Without Pay, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903; makes consequential amendments to sub-regulations 134(2) and 134(4); and omits certain definitions from regulation 120 which are no longer required in Part IV of the Air Force Regulations.
The date of effect is the day Determination 2608, Leave Without Pay, is made.
