AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

ADVISORY COUNCIL ORDINANCE 1967

Explanatory Memorandum

No. 6 of 1967

	The 1966 amendment to the Advisory Council Ordinance 1936-1965 provided that the allowances to be paid to elected members should be determined by the Minister of State for the Interior.  The 1967 Ordinance repeals this provision, to which the Senate Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances objected, and inserts a section in which the elected members’ allowances are specifically detailed.

	In accordance with a Government decision, the new rates are payable as from 1 July 1965.  Consequently, the 1967 Ordinance makes provision for payment of the new rates for the period 1 July 1965 to 23 August 1966, the day before the Minister determined the increased allowances in pursuance of the 1966 Ordinance.
