EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA
Australian Federal Police Regulations (Amendment)
1989 No. 1
The purpose of this amendment to the regulation is to enable members of the Australian Federal Police to stand for election to the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory created by section 8 of the Australian Capital Territory (Self-Government) Act 1988.
The amendment repealed the words in subregulation 41(1) which enabled a member to resign from the Australian Federal Police for the purpose of becoming a candidate at an election of a member or members of the Australian Capital Territory House of Assembly which is now defunct. The amendment then inserted new words to enable a member to resign from the Australian Federal Police for the purpose of becoming a candidate at an election of a member or members of the Legislative Assembly for the Australian Capital Territory.
