EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1982 NO. 264
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE AMENDMENT OF THE DEFENCE FORCE (SALARIES) REGULATIONS
Section 12 of the Defence Amendment Act 1979 provides that the Minister may make interim determinations amending or repealing regulations. The Act also deems such interim determinations to be Statutory Rules.
Regulation 12 of the Defence Force (Salaries) Regulations provides for the payment of Separation Allowance to members of the Defence Force who are required to live away from home for a continuous period of more than 14 days.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulation 12 of the Defence Force (Salaries) Regulations because the regulation has been replaced by Determination 0202, Separation Allowance, a determination made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
