EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 437
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENT OF THE MILITARY FINANCIAL 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.
Regulations 250 and 251 of the Military Financial Regulations provide for, respectively, Living Out Away From Home Allowance and Retention of Lodgings Allowance to members of the Defence Force who are separated from their dependants for Service reasons and who cannot be provided with Service accommodation or Service rations or both.
These Statutory Rules repeal these regulations because their provisions have been replaced by Determination 0508, Living Out Away From Home Allowance.
The date of effect is the date on which Determination 0508, Living Out Away From Home Allowance, is made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
