Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation cancels (repeals) a set of outdated Defence Force regulations that governed special payments to military personnel.

What it does:

Removes the Defence Force (Bounties and Gratuities) Regulations and all their amendments made between 1973 and 1984
These rules previously set out how recruitment incentives (called "bounties") and reward payments ("gratuities") were paid to Army, Navy and Air Force members

Who it affects:

Current and former Defence Force members who might have claimed payments under these old schemes
Defence administrators who no longer need to follow these specific payment rules

Why it matters: This is a "cleanup" law that removes obsolete rules from the statute books. Once repealed, the specific bounty and gratuity schemes covered by these regulations are no longer available, though existing entitlements may be protected under other laws or general administrative schemes.
