EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1990 NO. 11
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE SCIENCE AND PERSONNEL
DEFENCE FORCE (BOUNTIES AND GRATUITIES) REGULATIONS (REPEAL)
The Defence Force (Bounties and Gratuities) Regulations (“the Regulations”) formerly provided for the payment of bounties and gratuities to members of the Defence Force. Authority for these matters is now provided by Determinations made under the Defence Act 1903.
Parts I, II and III of the Regulations were repealed in 1984. As a result of these repeals, no provisions remained in the Regulations. However, the Regulations were not formally repealed.
The Attorney-General’s Department recently advised that it would be desirable for the Regulations to be formally repealed.
The Statutory Rule effects the necessary repeal.
The Statutory Rule comes into operation on the date of gazettal.
