EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 327
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 605, 606 and 607 of the Air Force Regulations provide for payment of Vehicle Allowance to members of the Air Force who are authorized to use their privately owned vehicles on travel which would otherwise be at Commonwealth expense.
Determination 0402, Vehicle Allowance, a tri-Service determination made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903 will replace the above regulations. These Statutory Rules repeal regulations 605, 606 and 607 with effect from the date Determination 0402 is made.
The Statutory Rules also make necessary consequential amendments to Air Force Regulations 645A and 647.
