EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 378
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENT OF THE AUSTRALIAN MILITARY REGULATIONS
Section 12 of the Defence Amendment Act 1979 allows the Minister to make determinations amending or repealing regulations. The Act also deems such interim determinations to be Statutory Rules.
Regulation 473 of the Australian Military Regulations provides for the granting of leave of absence without pay to a member of the Permanent Military Forces for a period not exceeding two years and describes the effect of that leave on service for other purposes.
This Interim Determination omits sub-regulation 473(1) of the Australian Military Regulations, which has been replaced by Determination 2608, Leave Without Pay, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903, and makes a consequential amendment to sub-regulation 473(2).
The date of effect is the day Determination 2608, Leave Without Pay, is made.
