In 2006 I signed into effect two new Defence Force Regulations together with amendments to various existing regulations all of which are listed in Appendix 1.

Regulations made pursuant to sections 17, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 29, 40, 43, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 53, 56, 58, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 70, 72, 73, 75, 80, 81, 82, 84, 86, 87, 88, 90, 92, 93, 94, 97, 98, 100, 102, 103, 114, 115, 116, 117, 180, 182, 184, 243, 244, 246 and 292 of the Defence Act 1954, (as amended) and sections 2 and 5 of the Defence (Amendment) Act 1990 are exempt from the operation of subsection (1) of section 3 of the Statutory Instruments Act 1947 by order of the Attorney General due to their limited application.

All regulations and amendments thereto signed into effect in 2006 were made pursuant to sections of the Defence Acts which are exempt from the provisions of section 3(1) of the Statutory Instruments Act 1947 and therefore were not distributed, printed or published, in the usual way pursuant to section 3(1) of the Act. However, copies of each amendment and regulation are readily available from the Legislation Branch in my Department.
