1984 No. 296 AUSTRALIAN FEDERAL POLICE REGULATIONS (AMENDMENT) - REG 24

24. (1) Notwithstanding the repeal effected by regulation 5, the Examination
Committee established under regulation 10 of the Principal Regulations as in
force before the commencement of these Regulations continues in force for the
purpose of-
  (a)   completing all matters for which the Committee was, in relation to the
qualifying examinations held by the Committee between 9 October 1984 and 17
October 1984 (both dates inclusive), responsible under the last-mentioned
regulation and that had not been completed before the commencement of these
Regulations; and

   (b)  if, but for that repeal, members who had not passed a qualifying
        examination referred to in paragraph (a) by reason that they had
        failed in one or more of the subjects in which the qualifying
        examination was conducted would, in accordance with the conditions
        determined by the Committee in that respect, have been allowed to take
        at a subsequent date the qualifying examination in that subject or
        those subjects only in order to qualify for a pass in the qualifying
        examination-holding, during the year commencing on 1 January 1985, the
        qualifying examination in those subjects in which members would have
        so been allowed to take the examination, and, for those purposes, the
        Committee has, subject to sub-regulation (2), all the powers that it
        would have had if the repeal had not been effected.

(2) Where, pursuant to sub-regulation (1), the Examination Committee referred
to in that sub-regulation holds a qualifying examination in a number of
subjects, a member shall not be allowed to take the examination in any of
those subjects unless-

   (a)  the member failed in that subject when the member sat for the
        qualifying examination during the period referred to in paragraph (1)
        (a); and

   (b)  the member is not undertaking-

        (i)    if the examination is the Senior Constable Qualifying
               Examination-one of the training courses that a constable
               usually undertakes before he holds the grade of Senior
               Constable; or

        (ii)   if the examination is an examination that was, for the purposes
               of the Principal Regulations as in force before the
               commencement of these Regulations, the qualifying examination
               prescribed in relation to a rank-a training course that is the
               qualifying course or one of the qualifying courses in relation
               to that rank.
