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.

These Statutory Rules omit sub-regulations 171 (1) and (2) and 172 (1) to remove the above provisions which are regarded as management expenses for which appropriation is made by the Parliament; and make a consequential amendment to sub-regulation 171 (3).
The date of effect is the date of notification in the Gazette.
