5  Simplified outline of this instrument

      Part IA of the Act establishes an infringement scheme to deal with minor service discipline matters (the infringement scheme). A prescribed defence member may elect to be dealt with under the infringement scheme for breaches of discipline that are disciplinary infringements.
      Subsection 9CA(1) of the Act defines a prescribed defence member. Under subsection 9CA(2) of Act, service chiefs may determine that a specified defence member, or each member of a specified class of defence members, holding the rank of warrant officer, chief petty officer or flight sergeant, is not a prescribed defence member.
      This instrument determines that members of the Australian Army of the rank of Warrant Officer Class One are not prescribed defence members for the purposes of the infringement scheme.
