EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1982 NO. 352
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.
Schedule 4 to the Defence Force (Salaries) Regulations specifies the rate of salary payable to a member of the Defence Force who was previously a senior non-commissioned officer and who is commissioned as an officer. This Interim Determination amends Schedule 4 by omitting the rank of Acting Sub Lieutenant in the Navy as members are no longer commissioned at this rank.
Schedule 9 to the Defence Force (Salaries) Regulations specifies the rate of salary payable to a member of the Defence Force who is undergoing training. This Interim Determination amends Schedule 9 to include air cadets who are undergoing a degree course at the Engineering Cadet Squadron, Frognall. The amendment to Schedule 9 is effective from 12 August 1982.
