EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 284
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 163 of the Military Financial Regulations provides for the payment of Overseas Rental Allowance to members of the Defence Force serving overseas for longer than 6 months to meet the additional cost of living at an appropriate standard in residential accommodation overseas.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulation 163 as the provisions of this regulation have been replaced by Determination 3718, Overseas Rental and Utilities Allowance, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
The date of effect of these Statutory Rules is the date of making of Determination 3718, Overseas Rental and Utilities Allowance.
