Overview

Statutory Rules 1941 No. 65, Regulations under the Supply and Development Acts 1939, was enacted to amend the Supply and Development (Staff) Regulations to address issues related to staff leave, eligibility for furlough, and salary adjustments. This legislative instrument was made by the Governor-General in Council under the authority granted by the Supply and Development Acts 1939. The primary objective of these regulations was to provide clarity and adjustments to staff leave policies, eligibility for furlough, and to establish the composition of divisions within the Department and the salary structures for officers within these divisions, ensuring that the remuneration aligns with the roles and responsibilities.

Scope and Application

These Regulations, made under the Supply and Development Acts 1939, amend the Supply and Development (Staff) Regulations concerning the staff of the Department of Supply and Development. Specifically, they modify the eligibility for furlough, the conditions for extended leave, and the composition of divisions within the department. The regulations pertain to officers and employees of the Department of Supply and Development, which encompasses various industries and functions related to the supply and development efforts during the Second World War. The scope of these regulations is national, as they apply across the Commonwealth of Australia and are made by the Governor-General in Council. The regulations do not explicitly state any exclusions or exemptions, but they are narrowly tailored to address the staffing structure and remuneration within the department. The application of these regulations is further defined and potentially extended through subordinate instruments, such as recommendations by the Minister and the Secretary, which can alter the composition of divisions and salary structures.

Key Provisions

The key provisions of these regulations, found in sections 1 through 8, primarily involve amendments and additions to the Supply and Development (Staff) Regulations. For instance, section 1 omits sub-regulation (2a.) of Regulation 59, section 2 removes the proviso to sub-regulation (1.) of Regulation 59a, and section 3 eliminates the proviso from Regulation 64. Additionally, sections 4 through 7 introduce new regulations and amend existing ones, particularly concerning the composition of divisions and the salaries of officers in various divisions. These regulations impose several obligations on the parties and entities they govern. For example, Regulation 114 (section 4) requires the Minister to determine the composition of the First Division, and the Minister must also decide, based on the Secretary's recommendation, which offices are to be included in the Second, Third, and Fourth Divisions. Furthermore, Regulation 116 (section 5) specifies the salary limits for officers in the Second Division and outlines the conditions under which salary increments may be paid. Similarly, Regulation 117 (section 6) and Regulation 117a (section 7) detail the salary ranges for officers in the Third and Fourth Divisions, respectively. The regulations also outline the consequences for non-compliance. Under Regulation 128 (section 9), offences by officers, such as misconduct or breaches of duty, are subject to penalties determined by the Minister rather than the Governor-General. While the specific penalties are not detailed within these regulations, it is implied that violations could lead to disciplinary actions, including potential termination of employment or other administrative sanctions. The precise nature and severity of these penalties would typically be defined in other relevant legislation or administrative guidelines.
