EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 364
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 130 of the Military Financial Regulations provides for the payment of an allowance called Disturbance Allowance to a member of the Defence Force who is granted a removal.
The allowance is now provided for in Determination 0505, Disturbance Allowance, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903, in respect of removals in Australia; and provision is now being made in Determination 3702, Transfer Allowance, to be made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903, for payment of an allowance in respect of removals to and from overseas.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulation 130 effective from the date of making of Determination 3702.
