EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 60
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 234 of the Military Financial Regulations provides for the reimbursement of the cost of uniform clothing and equipment required by an officer or Warrant Officer of the Permanent Military Forces, the Regular Army Emergency Reserve or the Australian Army Reserve where he privately purchases that clothing and equipment in lieu of free issue.
The Statutory Rules repeal regulation 234, which has been replaced by Determination 0697, Outfit Allowance in Lieu of Issues of Uniforms, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903, and makes a consequential amendment to regulation 236(1).
The date of effect is the date Determination 0697 is made.
