Explanatory Statement
Statutory Rules 1982 No. 139
Distillation Regulations (Amendment)
Issued by the Authority of the Minister for Industry and Commerce
The purpose of the accompanying regulation is to amend the Distillation Regulations to increase the charge for the services of an officer specified in Regulation 133 of the Regulations, from $10.43 per hour or part thereof to $11.60 per hour or part thereof.
This charge is imposed when the services of an officer are required otherwise than on a prescribed working day or during the prescribed working hours at the premises of a distiller or vigneron to attend at distilling operations.
The increase in this charge has been made to recoup salary increases resulting from the last pay rise for Third and Fourth Division Officers in the Australian Public Service.
