EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 38
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENT OF THE DEFENCE FORCE (BOUNTIES AND GRATUITIES) REGULATIONS
Section 12 of the Defence Amendment Act 1979 allows the Minister to make interim determinations amending or repealing regulations. The Act also deems such interim determinations to be Statutory Rules.
The Defence Force (Bounties and Gratuities) Regulations provide for the payment of bounties and gratuities to certain members of the Defence Force.
A number of trainees in the Air Force held the rank of Air Cadet or Cadet Aircrew. A recent amendment to the Air Force Regulations deleted these rank titles and introduced the rank titles of Officer Cadet and Non-commissioned Officer Cadet in their stead.
These Statutory Rules make consequential amendments to the Defence Force (Bounties and Gratuities) Regulations.
