Overview
The Statutory Rules 1969 No. 126 were enacted to make regulations under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1968, and they were introduced to address the need for amendments to the Australian Sea Cadet Corps Regulations. These regulations were made by the Governor-General in accordance with the advice of the Federal Executive Council. The primary objective of these regulations was to adjust certain provisions relating to the uniform and victualling of members within the Australian Sea Cadet Corps, reflecting changes in the structure and administrative requirements of the corps. The enactment aimed to ensure that the administrative and operational aspects of the Sea Cadet Corps align with the overarching naval defence policies of the time.
Scope and Application
The Statutory Rules 1969 No. 126, made under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1968, pertain to amendments of the Australian Sea Cadet Corps Regulations, specifically addressing the uniform and victualling provisions. These regulations apply to members of the Australian Sea Cadet Corps and the Navy League, regulating the cost and allowance for victualling. The amendments clarify the uniform regulations and repeal certain sections concerning bedding and equipment, as well as the previous victualling provisions. The regulations are of a Commonwealth nature, applicable across Australia, and are designed to streamline administrative processes related to the Sea Cadet Corps. The amendments also provide for the payment of allowances to the Navy League for victualling members under specified conditions determined by the Naval Board. These regulations extend to any subordinate instruments that might be promulgated to further refine the implementation of these provisions.
Key Provisions
The Statutory Rules 1969 No. 126, made under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1968, primarily revise the Australian Sea Cadet Corps Regulations. Section 2 of these Regulations updates the structure of the document by omitting certain parts and inserting new ones. Specifically, it removes the sections on Uniform (Regulations 18-25) and Victualling and Messing (Regulations 26-27) and replaces them with a new Part V on Uniform (Regulations 18-24) and Part VI on Victualling. Regulation 25 is repealed, which presumably dealt with an aspect of the old Victualling and Messing section. The new Part VI on Victualling introduces a regulation allowing an allowance to be paid to the Navy League for the cost of victualling members under conditions determined by the Naval Board.
These Regulations impose specific obligations on the parties governed by them, namely the Australian Sea Cadet Corps and the Navy League. The amendments necessitate the Australian Sea Cadet Corps to adhere to the new structure and regulations concerning uniforms and victualling. The Navy League must ensure compliance with the new provisions regarding the allowance for victualling members, which must be paid according to rates determined by the Naval Board. These changes aim to streamline and clarify the financial and administrative processes related to the victualling of cadets.
Violations of these Regulations, while not explicitly detailed in the Statutory Rules, could potentially lead to civil or administrative consequences. For instance, failure to comply with the new victualling regulations might result in the Navy League not receiving the appropriate allowance, leading to financial discrepancies or disputes. Additionally, non-compliance with uniform regulations might lead to disciplinary actions within the Australian Sea Cadet Corps. The exact penalties or consequences for breaches are not specified in the Statutory Rules but would typically be determined by the relevant governing bodies and applicable laws.
