Overview
Statutory Rules 1968 No. 9, titled "Regulations Under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1966," was enacted to amend the Naval Establishments Regulations, specifically adjusting the salary scales for certain naval positions. The enacting body was the Governor-General in Council, with the regulations coming into effect on 2 February 1968. These amendments were intended to address discrepancies or changes in the remuneration for Senior Inspectors and Superintending Inspectors within the naval force, effective from 2 February 1967. The policy objective of these regulations was to ensure appropriate and updated compensation structures for key personnel in the naval establishment, reflecting their roles and responsibilities within the defence framework.
Scope and Application
The Naval Defence Act 1910-1966 Regulations, established by Statutory Rules 1968 No. 9, primarily concern the amendment of salary scales for specific positions within the naval service. These regulations apply to individuals holding the positions of Senior Inspector and Superintending Inspector within the Commonwealth's naval establishments, effective from the second day of February 1967. The regulations are issued under the authority of the Governor-General, with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, and are designed to ensure consistency and fairness in remuneration for these roles. The scope of these regulations is confined to adjustments in the salary scales outlined in the Third Schedule of the Naval Establishments Regulations, and they do not extend to other positions or areas of employment within the naval service unless explicitly stated. The amendments are meant to reflect the updated salary scales for the aforementioned positions as of the specified date.
Key Provisions
The main operative sections of this statutory instrument pertain to the amendment of the Naval Establishments Regulations under the Naval Defence Act 1910-1966. Specifically, these Regulations alter the Third Schedule of the Naval Establishments Regulations by removing items 36 and 40 in Part I and replacing them with revised figures for the salaries of Senior Inspectors and Superintending Inspectors. The new salary scales for Senior Inspectors range from 5,656 to 6,028, and for Superintending Inspectors, from 6,405 to 6,777. These amendments apply to services in these positions from the second day of February 1967 onwards.
These Regulations impose obligations on the parties they govern, particularly those in the roles of Senior Inspectors and Superintending Inspectors within the naval establishment. The new salary scales set out in the amended Regulations must be adhered to when determining the remuneration for these positions. This includes ensuring that the appropriate salary is paid in accordance with the new scales, which reflect the updated rates of annual salary for these roles.
In terms of consequences for non-compliance with these Regulations, there are no explicit offences, penalties, or consequences detailed within the statutory instrument itself. However, failure to adhere to the amended salary scales could potentially lead to disputes regarding remuneration, which might necessitate resolution through the appropriate administrative or judicial channels. The Regulations themselves do not specify maximum penalties for non-compliance, but any breaches would likely be subject to the general provisions of the Naval Defence Act 1910-1966 or other applicable employment laws.
