EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 No. 451
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 165 of the Military Financial Regulations provides for payment of an amount to a member who is serving on long term duty overseas where the member incurs expenses for the medical treatment of his or her family.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulation 165 as the provision is now contained in Determination 3737, Medical and Hospital Expenses of a Member’s Family Overseas, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
The date of effect is the date of signature of Determination 3737.
