EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1983 NO. 53
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENT OF THE DEFENCE FORCE (SALARIES) 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.
Regulation 4A of the Defence Force (Salaries) Regulations provides that a member of the Permanent Forces may count half of any service which he renders in the Reserve Forces as service for the purposes of those Regulations.
These Statutory Rules amend regulation 4A to permit the counting of any such service rendered by the member while he was a member to whom the Defence Force (Reserves) (Financial) Regulations applied.
