EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1982 NO. 81
INDUSTRIES ASSISTANCE COMMISSION REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT)
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR
BUSINESS AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS
The purpose of the accompanying regulation is to make a formal amendment, at the request of the Public Service Board, to regulation 4 of the Industries Assistance Commission Regulations to omit the reference in that regulation to the Public Service Regulations.
Regulation 4 of the Industries Assistance Commission Regulations provides that Commissioners and Associate Commissioners in the Industries Assistance Commission are entitled to be paid such allowances, other than travelling allowance, as would be payable to them under the Public Service Regulations, as in force from time to time, if they were officers of the Australian Public Service.
The Public Service and Statutory Authorities Amendment Act 1980 introduced provisions into the Public Service Act to permit the Public Service Board to make determinations in relation to terms and conditions of employment of officers and employees under that Act. These determinations are in substitution for regulations made under the Public Service Act.
The Public Service Board is preparing a consolidated determination to replace a significant part of the existing Public Service Regulations. As part of this process it is proposed that the relevant Public Service Regulations be repealed. When this action is effected, references in other regulations to the Public Service Regulations will be redundant.
