Overview
Statutory Rules 1941 No. 163 is a legislative instrument enacted under the Defence Act 1903-1941. This regulation was introduced to amend the Civilian Staff Regulations, addressing administrative adjustments necessary in the context of national defence efforts during a time of global conflict. The regulation was made by the Governor-General in Council, acting on the advice of the Minister of Defence Co-ordination. The objective was to streamline the administrative framework governing civilian staff within the Defence sector, ensuring that the military's internal governance structures were as efficient and responsive as possible during wartime. The regulation specifically repealed Regulation 48 and amended Regulation 119c, focusing on the conditions and roles of civil teaching staff at the Royal Military College.
Scope and Application
The Statutory Rules 1941, No. 163, made under the Defence Act 1903-1941, pertains specifically to the amendment of the Civilian Staff Regulations, impacting the administration and operations of civilian staff within the Defence sector. This regulation applies to civilian personnel employed within the defence industry and encompasses adjustments to the regulatory framework governing their employment conditions, including alterations to the Royal Military College's civil teaching staff provisions. Geographically, the scope of this legislation is national, affecting all civilian staff within the Commonwealth of Australia, as it falls under federal jurisdiction. The regulation repeals certain provisions and amends others, effectively streamlining the administrative structure and operational guidelines for civilian staff. The regulation does not explicitly state any exclusions or thresholds, but its impact is confined to the civilian staff within the defence framework. The regulation also indicates that further adjustments and specific applications may be made through subordinate instruments, allowing for more detailed and targeted modifications to the existing regulations.
Key Provisions
The regulation primarily concerns the amendment of the Civilian Staff Regulations, specifically repealing Regulation 48 and altering Regulation 119c. Regulation 48, previously governing certain aspects of civilian staff, is now repealed, removing its applicability and effect (Regulation 1). This repeal signifies a shift in the regulatory framework concerning the civilian staff. In conjunction, Regulation 119c, which pertains to the Civil Teaching Staff at the Royal Military College, has been amended by removing sub-paragraph (b) from sub-regulation (1). This amendment likely impacts the structure or requirements for the Civil Teaching Staff, although the specific details of the removed sub-paragraph are not provided in the extract (Regulation 2).
These changes impose new requirements or modifications on the parties involved. For instance, the repeal of Regulation 48 means that any provisions or obligations previously outlined in that regulation are no longer enforceable or applicable. Consequently, those who were subject to Regulation 48 must now operate under the new regulatory environment that excludes this repealed regulation. Additionally, the amendment to Regulation 119c affects the Civil Teaching Staff at the Royal Military College by altering their regulatory framework. This change necessitates compliance with the modified regulation, potentially impacting their duties, responsibilities, or the qualifications required for their roles.
Breach of the regulations or failure to comply with the new requirements can lead to various consequences. While the specific penalties are not detailed in the extract, under the Defence Act 1903-1941, breaches of regulations can result in both civil and criminal penalties. Civil penalties might include fines or other monetary penalties, whereas criminal penalties could involve imprisonment, depending on the severity and nature of the breach. The exact penalties would be determined based on the specific provisions of the Defence Act and any relevant case law.
