Overview
The Statutory Rules 1930 No. 109, titled "Regulations Under the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1922-1930," was enacted to amend the Commonwealth Public Service Regulations. This legislative instrument was introduced to address the need for updates and adjustments in the salaries and conditions of specific public service roles within the Commonwealth framework. The Board of Commissioners, empowered by the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1922-1930, made these amendments, which were subsequently approved by the Governor-General. The amendments included changes to the salary scales and conditions for certain positions, such as "Lineman," "Lineman-in-charge," "Senior Lineman," and "Line Foreman." The policy objective of these amendments was to ensure that the remuneration and allowances for these roles reflected current conditions and responsibilities, thus maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of the public service.
Scope and Application
The Statutory Rules 1930, No. 109, made under the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1922-1930, encompass amendments to the Commonwealth Public Service Regulations, specifically altering the remuneration and conditions for certain positions within the public service. These amendments are targeted at the offices of "Lineman," "Lineman-in-charge," "Senior Lineman," and "Line Foreman," establishing new salary scales and conditions, including allowances for specific duties such as cable jointing. The amendments apply to all individuals employed in these positions within the Commonwealth public service, irrespective of their location within Australia. The Board of Commissioners, authorised under the Act, has the power to make these amendments, subject to the approval of the Governor-General. The changes are intended to take effect immediately upon their enactment, reflecting adjustments to ensure fair and equitable compensation for the specified roles, while also providing for specific allowances where applicable.
Key Provisions
The main operative sections of this legislative instrument (Statutory Rules 1930, No. 109) pertain to the amendments of the Commonwealth Public Service Regulations under the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1922-1930. Regulation 106 is specifically amended by replacing the existing offices of “Lineman”, “Lineman-in-charge”, “Senior Lineman”, and “Line Foreman” with new definitions and salary structures. The new office titles, salary ranges, and increment details are provided in the amended Table I. Additionally, the regulation allows for a daily allowance of One shilling (1s.) for Senior Linemen engaged in cable jointing, subject to conditions set by the Board of Commissioners.
The Board of Commissioners, acting under the authority conferred by the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1922-1930, is responsible for making these amendments. The changes are subject to the approval of the Governor-General and are intended to come into operation immediately. This process ensures that the amendments are properly authorised and implemented within the framework of the existing legislation. The roles and responsibilities of the Board in administering these changes are clearly outlined in the document.
There are no explicit offences, penalties, or consequences for breach mentioned in this legislative instrument. However, any failure to comply with the newly established regulations could potentially result in administrative or disciplinary actions within the public service, as governed by the overarching Commonwealth Public Service Act 1922-1930. The precise nature and extent of such consequences would depend on the specific circumstances and the internal policies of the public service at the time.
