Parliamentary Remuneration Further Amendment Act 1998 No 119

An Act relating to the initial determination of the Parliamentary Remuneration Tribunal of additional entitlements under the Parliamentary Remuneration Act 1989; to amend the Parliamentary Remuneration Amendment Act 1998; and for other purposes.
2   Commencement
This Act commences on the date of assent.
3   Initial determination of additional entitlements
(1)  An initial determination relating to additional entitlements is to be made by the Parliamentary Remuneration Tribunal on or as soon as practicable after 27 March 1999.
(2)  The initial determination has effect as a determination under and for the purposes of the Parliamentary Remuneration Act 1989, and takes effect on and from the date it is made (or a later date specified in or determined under the initial determination in relation to any particular entitlements).
(3)  So far, however, as it relates to additional entitlements in the nature of additional allowances, the initial determination takes effect as on and from 27 March 1999 (or a later date specified in or determined under the initial determination in relation to any particular entitlements).
(4)  Additional allowances continue to be payable at the rates previously payable as if the Parliamentary Remuneration Amendment Act 1998 had not been enacted, until payment of additional entitlements in the nature of additional allowances can be effected under the initial determination, subject to any necessary adjustments.
(5)  The Parliamentary Remuneration Act 1989 applies, with any necessary adaptations, to the initial determination in the same way as it applies to an annual determination.
(6)  Nothing in this section authorises a person to be paid an allowance for any period for which the person is not otherwise entitled to be paid remuneration under the Parliamentary Remuneration Act 1989.
