EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1983 NO. 258
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 245 of the Military Financial Regulations provides for an Overseas Ration Allowance to members of the Australian Army Reserve who must pay for service rations while training overseas. It has been replaced by Determination 3698, Overseas Ration Allowance, a determination made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulation 245 with effect from the date on which Determination 3698 is made.
