EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 336
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.
Regulation 18 of the Military Financial Regulations provides for, inter alia, the payment of an allowance to a member whose salary is forfeited while undergoing stage 3 of a period of detention in a military corrective establishment; and regulation 182 provides for the payment of salary and allowances to a member of the Regular Army Emergency Reserve who, while rendering continuous full-time service, is absent from duty on account of illness or injury.
These Statutory rules amend regulation 18 to omit the payment of an allowance during stage 3 of detention as the allowance is now provided for in Determination 0805, Detention Allowance, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903; and a consequential amendment is made to regulation 266.
Also, the Statutory Rules repeal regulation 182 as the member described is provided for in the Defence Force (Salaries) Regulations.
The date of effect of the amendments to regulations 18 and 266 is the date of signature of Determination 0805. The date of effect of the repeal of regulation 182 is the date of notification in the Gazette.
