Overview

Statutory Rules 1973 No. 225, made under the authority of the Governor-General acting with the advice of the Executive Council, amends various regulations to increase the rates of travelling allowance payable under specified Acts. This legislative instrument was enacted to address the need for adjustments in travel allowance rates across multiple Acts, likely due to inflation or changes in operational costs. The primary objective of these amendments is to ensure that the travel allowances are sufficient to cover the increased costs of travel for personnel involved in the specified activities. The amendments apply to a broad range of Acts, including the Australian Commission on Advanced Education Act 1971, Australian Electoral Office Act 1973, Australian Film Development Corporation Act 1970, and others, reflecting the broad scope of the policy objective to update and standardise travel allowance rates across various sectors.

Scope and Application

This legislative instrument, Statutory Rules 1973 No. 225, pertains to an increase in the rates of travelling allowance payable under various regulations made under specified acts. The acts and their corresponding regulations that are affected by these amendments include the Australian Commission on Advanced Education Act 1971, Australian Electoral Office Act 1973, Australian Film Development Corporation Act 1970, Australian Institute of Marine Science Act 1972–1973, Australian Universities Commission Act 1959–1971, Broadcasting and Television Act 1942–1973, Cities Commission Act 1972–1973, Commonwealth Teaching Service Act 1972–1973, Conciliation and Arbitration Act 1904–1972, Criminology Research Acts 1971, Dairying Research Act 1972, Dried Fruits Research Act 1971, Export Payments Insurance Corporation Act 1956–1973, Honey Industry Act 1962–1972, Industrial Research and Development Grants Act 1967–1972, Insurance Act 1973, Metric Conversion Act 1970–1971, National Health Act 1953–1973, Parliamentary Counsel Act 1970–1971, Pig Industry Research Act 1971, Prices Justification Act 1973, Science and Industry Research Act 1949–1968, Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation Act 1970–1973, Stevedoring Industry (Temporary Provisions) Act 1967–1973, Tariff Board Act 1921–1972, and Therapeutic Goods Act 1966. The amendments involve increasing the specified dollar amount from twenty-five to twenty-eight dollars across various sub-regulations and paragraphs within the regulations of these acts. The Regulations are made under the authority of the Governor-General, and the amendments have come into operation on various dates from 2 April 1973 to 19 July 1973, depending on the act in question.

Key Provisions

This statutory instrument (F1996B02759) amends the rates of travelling allowance payable under various regulations made under specified Acts. Specifically, it increases the rate from twenty-five dollars to twenty-eight dollars in the regulations of eighteen different Acts. The legislative instrument details these amendments in the Schedule, specifying the Act and the corresponding regulation that is being amended. For each entry in the Schedule, the first item amends a specific sub-regulation or paragraph to change the dollar amount, and the second item stipulates the date on which the regulation shall be deemed to have come into operation. The obligations imposed by these regulations on the parties or entities they govern include the requirement to adhere to the updated travelling allowance rates as specified. This means that any payments or reimbursements for travel expenses must now reflect the new rate of twenty-eight dollars, as opposed to the previous twenty-five dollars. The regulations are quite specific, detailing which sub-regulations or paragraphs in various Acts are being amended, ensuring clarity on where and how the changes apply. There are no explicit offences, penalties, or civil/criminal consequences stated for breaches of these regulations within the text of the statutory instrument itself. Typically, non-compliance with such regulations could lead to disputes over the correct amount of travel reimbursements, which may need to be resolved through administrative or legal processes. However, the instrument does not specify any particular penalties or consequences for non-compliance, implying that adherence to the updated rates is mandatory and any deviation could lead to disputes over the correct amount of travel reimbursements.
