EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1983 NO. 13
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 150 of the Military Financial Regulations provides for the payment of oversea outfit allowance to members of the Army who are serving on continuous full-time duty and who are posted overseas on short term duty.
These Statutory Rules amend regulation 150 to allow payment of oversea outfit allowance to members of the Reserve.
