EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 369
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.
Regulations 126, 127 and 128 of the Military Financial Regulations provide for payment of accommodation and rental allowances to married members of the Defence Force who are obliged to occupy rented accommodation prior to or on removal to a new locality.
These regulations have been replaced by Determinations 0503, Defence Force Rental Expense Assistance Allowance and 0504, Temporary Accommodation Allowance, made by the Minister under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
This determination repeals regulations 126, 127 and 128 with effect from the date of making of Determinations 0503 and 0504.
