EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 No. 448
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.
Military Financial Regulations 151, 152, 153 and 167 provide for, respectively, shipboard allowance, short term duty allowance, oversea transit allowance and travelling and meal allowances.
These statutory Rules repeal regulations 151, 152 and 153 and amend regulation 167 to omit reference to travelling allowance, as the provisions have been consolidated in Determination 3601, travelling Allowance, made under section 583 of the Defence Act 1903.
The date of effect is the date of signature of Determination 3601.
