EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1982 NO 133
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
DEFENCE FORCE (SALARIES) REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
Regulation 19 of the Defence Force (Salaries) Regulations provides for a deduction called rations and quarters charge, to be made from the salary of a member rendering continuous full time service and living in service accommodation. Rates for the charge are set out in a table to sub-regulation 19(1).
These Statutory Rules amend sub-regulation 19(1) to increase the rates of the rations and quarters charge. The increases range from 25 cents a day for trainees to 30 cents a day for officers.
The amendment has effect from the first pay period in July 1982.
