EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 153
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 200 of the Naval Financial Regulations provides for payment of travelling allowance to members of the Navy making an authorized journey.
These Statutory Rules amend regulation 200 by increasing the rates at which the allowance is payable. The increases are a flow-on from corresponding increases recently granted to members of the Australian Public Service.
The date of effect is 1 May 1984.
