What this does

This regulation abolishes (repeals) the Naval Reserve (National Service) Regulations 1955. These were the rules that set out how naval reservists were called up for compulsory national service training (conscription).

Who it affects

Primarily affects current and former naval reserve personnel who were subject to the 1955 rules. Once repealed, those specific regulations no longer have any legal force.

Why it matters

This is a legislative cleanup measure that removes the regulatory framework for naval national service. Made in 1973 following the end of Australia's national service scheme, this regulation ensures the naval conscription rules are formally deleted from the statute books.
