EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1982 NO. 277
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.
Regulation 189 of the Military Financial Regulations provides for the payment of an allowance to a Chaplain-General who acts as Secretary to the Conference of Chaplains-General.
The Conference of Chaplains-General was disbanded in 1981 and the position of Secretary to the Conference no longer exists.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulation 189.
