Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This regulation is a housekeeping measure that scraps outdated rules about re-establishment loans for Australian Defence Force members.

What it does:

Cancels old regulations: It formally repeals six sets of rules made between 1967 and 1986 that governed loans to help defence personnel re-establish themselves after leaving service.
Cleans up the law: By removing these obsolete rules, it simplifies the statute books and prevents confusion about which loan schemes are currently active.

Who it affects: Mainly relevant to veterans and former ADF members who may have accessed these historical loan programs, though the repeal indicates these specific schemes are now defunct or replaced by modern arrangements.

Why it matters: It removes "dead wood" from Commonwealth law—old regulations that are no longer operational—making the legal framework clearer and easier to navigate.
