Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a short administrative regulation that cleans up the statute book by cancelling (repealing) outdated rules from 1964 and 1966.

What it does:

Abolishes the Defence Forces Retirement Benefits (Prescribed Contributors) (No. 2) Regulations made in 1964 and amended in 1966.
Sets the cancellation date as 9 February 1976.

Who it affects:

Primarily affects former members of the Australian Defence Force who were "prescribed contributors" (a specific category of personnel who paid into a particular retirement benefits scheme) under the old 1964 regulations.

Why it matters:

This removes obsolete legal rules that are no longer needed, likely because the underlying retirement benefits scheme was restructured or the specific contributor category was phased out. It does not create new rules; it simply tidies up old ones.
