By linking their allowances to the APS system, it keeps things simple and consistent with standard government entitlements."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/director-of-public-prosecutions-allowances-regulations","history":"/api/acts/director-of-public-prosecutions-allowances-regulations/history","analysis":"/api/acts/director-of-public-prosecutions-allowances-regulations/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/director-of-public-prosecutions-allowances-regulations/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/director-of-public-prosecutions-allowances-regulations/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/director-of-public-prosecutions-allowances-regulations/documents"}}
