Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This is a short legal instrument that gives one specific soldier access to Australia's military superannuation scheme.

What it does: It declares Corporal E.J. Lee (Service Number A232949) to be an "eligible member" under the Military Superannuation and Benefits Act 1991.

Why this matters: Normally, only certain defence force members can join the military superannuation scheme. This declaration creates a specific exception for Corporal Lee, allowing them to access military superannuation benefits (retirement pay and benefits) even if they don't meet the standard membership rules. This type of instrument is typically used for exceptional cases where someone falls outside the usual eligibility criteria but is granted access by ministerial discretion.

Who it affects: Directly affects only one person: Corporal E.J. Lee. It also affects the Military Superannuation and Benefits Board, which must administer benefits for this member.
