EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1982 NO. 3
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENT OF THE 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.
Regulations 556J and 556K of the Air Force Regulations provide for payment of Higher Duty Allowance to memebers of the Air Force who temporarily perform the duties of a higher position.
Determination 0104, Higher Duties Allowance, a tri-service determination made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903, will consolidate all the provisions relating to the allowance and will replace regulations 556J and 556K. The Statutory Rules therefore repeal the regulations.
The Statutory Rules also make minor consequential amendments to regulation 534, of the Air Force Regualtions
The date of effect is the date Determination 0104 is made.
