EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1982 No. 360
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE AIR FORCE REGULATIONS
Section 12 of the Defence Amendment Act 1979 provides that the Minister may make interim determinations amending or repealing regulations. The Act also deems such interim determinations to be Statutory Rules.
Sub-regulation (3) of regulation 645A and sub-regulation (3) of regulation 647 of the Air Force Regulations provide for payment of a locum tenens allowance to certain members of the Air Force Reserve who are required to pay for a locum tenens for their private practices while they are absent on reserve training commitments.
These sub-regulations have been replaced by Determination 0197, Locum Tenens Allowance, a tri-Service determination made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
These Statutory Rules omit sub-regulations 645A(3) and 647(3) with effect from the day on which Determination 0197, Locum Tenens Allowance, is made.
