EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 89
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENT OF THE DEFENCE FORCE (RESERVES) (FINANCIAL) (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.
These regulations currently provide for rates of pay for members of the Reserve Forces. As part of the transfer of legislation covering conditions of service for members of the Defence Force from regulations to determinations made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903, the pay of Reserve Force members is now given legal effect by Determination 0199, Pay of Reserve Force Members.
These Statutory Rules make consequential amendments to regulations 2 and 16 and repeal regulations 2A, 3, 4, 5, 5A, 6, 6A, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 17 of, and the Schedules to, the Defence Force (Reserves) (Financial) Regulations.
