Overview
The Statutory Rules 1972 No. __________, issued under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1971, aim to amend the Australian Sea Cadet Corps Regulations by altering the allowances and pay rates for cadet officers and instructors. Enacted by the Administrator of the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, these regulations specifically adjust the financial compensation for various ranks within the Australian Sea Cadet Corps. The policy objective behind these amendments is to ensure that the remuneration for cadet officers and instructors remains fair and reflective of the duties they perform within the cadet corps. These regulations apply to the financial year ending 30 June 1972 and any subsequent years, providing updated rates for continuous training and duty performance.
Scope and Application
These Statutory Rules, made under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1971, specifically amend the Australian Sea Cadet Corps Regulations. The amendments primarily focus on adjusting the financial allowances for various ranks and ratings within the Australian Sea Cadet Corps. The updated allowances are applicable for duties performed during the financial year ending 30 June 1972, and any subsequent financial years. The scope of the Act applies to members of the Australian Sea Cadet Corps, including cadets and instructors, who are involved in the management and training of the cadets. These regulations are applicable nationally, as they pertain to the Australian Sea Cadet Corps, which operates under the auspices of the Commonwealth of Australia. There are no exclusions or exemptions specified within these regulations, but they do not extend to any other entities or individuals outside the scope of the Australian Sea Cadet Corps. The application of these amendments is direct and does not rely on subordinate instruments for extension or restriction.
Key Provisions
The Regulations under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1971 primarily address the amendments to the Australian Sea Cadet Corps Regulations. Regulation 1 revises the monetary allowances for various ranks within the Sea Cadet Corps, specifically altering the amounts for Sea Cadet Commanders, Lieutenant-Commanders, Lieutenants, Sub-Lieutenants, Cadet Officers, Chief Petty Officer Instructors, and Petty Officer Instructors. These allowances are differentiated based on whether the units are formed in schools or elsewhere. Regulation 2 modifies the criteria for continuous training pay, changing the required number of days from seven to two. Regulation 3 clarifies the applicability of the amended allowances, specifying that the new rates apply to duties performed during the financial year ended 30 June 1972 and any subsequent financial years.
The obligations imposed by these Regulations on the parties or entities they govern are primarily financial in nature. They must ensure that the updated allowances and pay rates for Sea Cadet ranks and continuous training are correctly applied and disbursed as per the revised regulations. This includes updating internal records, payroll systems, and any related administrative processes to reflect the new monetary values specified in the Regulations. Additionally, the Regulations require adherence to the new criteria for continuous training pay, ensuring that personnel meet the updated requirement of two days of continuous training to be eligible for pay.
There are no specific offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences outlined within the text of these Regulations. However, non-compliance with the financial obligations and requirements could potentially lead to disputes or administrative issues, particularly if incorrect pay rates are applied. The lack of specified penalties in the text suggests that enforcement and consequences would likely be addressed through internal administrative procedures or other related legislative frameworks.
