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 72, 73 and 74 of the Military Financial Regulations provide for the payment of gratuities or annuities to members of the Army who have been awarded certain decorations or have become entitled to certain awards.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulations 72, 73 and 74 which have been replaced by Determination 0713, Special Gratuities and Annuities for Honours and Awards, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
The date of effect is the date Determination 0713 is made.
