EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 152
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 98 and 107 of the Military Financial Regulations provide for payment of travelling allowance to members of the Army making an authorized journey and meal allowance to members on duty away from home during a meal period. These Statutory Rules amend regulations 98 and 107 by increasing the rates at which these allowances are payable. The increases are a flow-on from corresponding increases recently granted to members of the Australian Public Service. The date of effect is 1 May 1984.
