EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1986 NO 114
COMMONWEALTH EMPLOYEES (REDEPLOYMENT AND RETIREMENT) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
Issued with the authority of the Public Service Board
Section 29 of the Commonwealth Employees (Redeployment and Retirement) Act 1979 (‘the Act’) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations prescribing all matters which are required or permitted to be prescribed, for carrying out or giving effect to the Act.
The statutory rules repeal regulations 25, 26 and 27 of the Commonwealth Employees (Redeployment and Retirement) Regulations. Regulations 25, 26 and 27 prescribed inefficiency and loss of qualifications as grounds on which action under the Act could be taken. Section 33 of the Public Service and Statutory Authorities Amendment Act 1985 (‘the Amendment Act’) puts these grounds for redeployment into section 7 of the Act. Section 33 of the Amendment Act was proclaimed on 1 April 1986. Accordingly regulations 25, 26 and 27 have been repealed.
