EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 88
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.
Legal cover for the Defence Force (Reserves) (Financial) Regulations to pay members of the Reserve Forces is being transferred to Determination 0199, Pay of Reserve Force Members, to be made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
These Statutory Rules make a consequential amendment to regulation 188 of the Military Financial Regulations to replace a reference to the Defence Force (Reserves) (Financial) Regulations with a reference to Determination 0199.
The date of effect is the date on which Determination 0199 is made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
