STATUTORY RULES 1992 No. 65

Issued by the authority of the Minister for Industrial Relations for and on behalf of the Prime Minister

Public Service Act 1922

Public Service Regulations (Amendment)

Paragraph 97(1) (aa) of the Public Service Act 1922 (the Act) provides that the Governor-General may make regulations prescribing matters required or permitted by the Act to be prescribed.

various provisions of the Public Service and Statutory Authorities Amendment Act 1980, which repeal sections of the Act dealing with leave of absence for recreation for officers of the Australian Public Service have been proclaimed. This action was appropriate because a determination has been made under section 82D of the Act which provides for such leave of absence. The determination came into effect on the date of effect of the above-mentioned Proclamation.

The Regulations amend the Public Service Regulations by repealing provisions which were made pursuant to the provisions of the Act dealing with recreation leave.

Regulation 1 of the Regulations provides that they are to commence on 17 March 1992, the day fixed by the abovementioned Proclamation.

Regulation 2 of the Regulations provides that the Public Service Regulations are amended as set out in the Regulations.

Regulation 3 of the Regulations corrects a minor clerical error in subregulation 37(2) of the Public Service Regulations.

Regulation 4 of the Regulations corrects an error in the citation of the Audit Act 1901 in regulation 41 of the Public Service Regulations.

Regulation 5 of the Regulations omits the heading to Division II of Part II of the Public Service Regulations and substitutes a new heading appropriate to the regulations remaining in that Division.

Regulations 6 to 26 of the Regulations repeal the regulations in Division II of Part II of the Public Service Regulations which relate to leave of absence for recreation for officers of the Australian Public Service. The provisions are complementary to those in the Act which are being repealed.

Regulation 27 of the Regulations repeals regulation 137 of the Public Service Regulations which provides for recreation leave for employees.

Regulation 28 of the Regulations repeals regulation 137A of the Public Service Regulations which provides for additional recreation leave for employees employed in isolated districts.
