Overview
The Statutory Rules of 1941, No. 158, which are regulations under the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1922-1941, were enacted to further refine and update the administrative framework governing the Commonwealth Public Service. These regulations were introduced to address the need for more precise and up-to-date administrative protocols within the public service, particularly in response to evolving socio-economic conditions and the demands of World War II. The Public Service Board, pursuant to its authority under the Commonwealth Public Service Act, created these regulations, which were subsequently approved by the Governor-General. The objective of these regulations is to ensure that the public service operates efficiently and effectively, thereby supporting the broader policy objectives of the Commonwealth Government. These regulations were brought into operation on the 10th of July, 1941, marking an important step in the ongoing management and regulation of the public service.
Scope and Application
The Regulations under the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1922-1941, made by the Public Service Board and approved by the Governor-General, are designed to amend the existing Commonwealth Public Service Regulations. These regulations come into operation on the tenth of July, 1941, and include specific changes such as the repeal of Regulation 86, which pertains to child endowment. The amendments are part of a series of adjustments made over several years, reflecting evolving public service needs and administrative requirements. The scope of these regulations applies broadly to the public service sector within the Commonwealth, encompassing various aspects of public service administration and employee entitlements. However, the specific details of the repealed regulation and its implications are not elaborated upon in the provided text. The jurisdictional reach of these regulations is confined to the Commonwealth level, affecting public service entities and personnel across Australia as governed by federal law.
Key Provisions
The Regulations under the Commonwealth Public Service Act 1922-1941, dated July 1941, introduce specific amendments to existing regulations, particularly focusing on child endowment. The primary change is the repeal of Regulation 86, which previously addressed child endowment under the Commonwealth Public Service Regulations (section 2). These Regulations came into operation on July 10, 1941, and were approved by the Governor-General on July 9, 1941, following the advice of the Federal Executive Council.
These Regulations impose certain obligations on public servants and the Commonwealth Public Service Board. The repeal of Regulation 86 means that any provisions previously in place for child endowment are no longer applicable. This change affects the entitlements and benefits of public servants in relation to child endowment. The Public Service Board is tasked with ensuring that these changes are communicated effectively and implemented within the public service framework.
The Regulations do not explicitly state any new offences, penalties, or consequences for breaches of these provisions. However, the general expectation under Australian administrative law is that failure to comply with statutory regulations could result in administrative action, including potential disciplinary measures against public servants. The specific penalties would depend on the nature and severity of the breach, in accordance with the broader public service laws and policies in place at the time.
