EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 339
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 534B and 534C of the Air Force Regulations allow the Commonwealth to recover an amount from a member on termination of full-time service, other than by reason of death, if that member has taken excess recreation leave, has received salary and allowances for that leave, and the leave did not have to be taken as a result of the exigencies of the Service.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulations 534B and 534C which have been replaced by Determination 2609, Liability of Member for Excess Leave on Termination of Service, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
The date of effect is the date Determination 2609 is made.
