EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 457
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENT OF THE NAVAL 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 7 of the Naval Financial Regulations relates to the commencement and cessation of salary and allowances for members of the Navy; Regulation 8 refers to service for the purposes of salary; and Division 1A of Part II relates to salary payable to sailors. Regulation 129A and sub-regulation 245(2) provide for continued payment of salary and allowances during periods of weekend or periodic detention imposed by a civil court and absence from duty while on sick leave respectively.
These Statutory Rules amend regulations 7, 129A and 245, and repeal regulation 8 and Division 1A of Part II because the provisions relating to payment of salary have been replaced by Determination 0101, Salary of Permanent Force Members, made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
These Statutory Rules also make consequential amendments to regulation 5A of the Naval Financial Regulations because the Defence Force (Salaries) Regulations dealing with payment of salary have been replaced by Determination 0101, Salary of Permanent Force Members.
The date of effect is 31 December 1984, the date on which Determination 0101, Salary of Permanent Force Members, is made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903.
