EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1982 NO. 1
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENT OF THE NAVAL FINANCIAL REGULATIONS
Section 12 of the Defence Amendment Act 1979 provides that the Minister may make interim determinations amending or repealing regulations. The Act also deems such interim determinations to be Statutory Rules.
Regulation 113 of the Naval Financial Regulations provides for payment of Higher Duties Allowance to members of the Navy who temporarily perform the duties of a higher position.
Determination 0104, Higher Duties Allowance, a tri-service determination made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903, will consolidate all the provisions relating to the allowance and will replace regulation 113. The Statutory Rules therefore repeal the regulation.
The date of effect is the date Determination 0104 is made.
