EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 58
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 Regulation 209, which provides for the payment of an attendance allowance to a member of the Army Reserve for his attendance at courts martial, military courts of inquiry, boards or committees, is repealed. The allowance payable under this regulation is no longer required because activities of this kind will in future be treated as rendering Reserve service for which the member will be entitled to pay under the Defence Force (Reserves) (Financial) Regulations.
