EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
STATUTORY RULES 1984 NO. 280
ISSUED BY THE AUTHORITY OF THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
AMENDMENTS 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.
Regulations 199 to 205, inclusive, of the Naval Financial Regulations provide for payment of travelling allowances to members of the Navy who undertake authorized journeys on duty or on posting within Australia. These regulations have been replaced by Determination 0401, Travelling Allowance, a tri-Service determination made under section 58B of the Defence Act 1903 which will provide the legal cover for payment of the allowance to members of the three Services.
These Statutory Rules repeal regulations 199 to 205 inclusive with effect from the date Determination 0401 is made.
The Statutory Rules also make consequential amendments to regulations 142, 198, 210 and 211.
