Per Evatt and McTiernan JJ:
“The word “pay” includes the remuneration granted to the holder of a rank or office in the case where he is relieved from the actual performance of the duties of the office. In this sense it includes the half-pay of a military officer. A characteristic of a payment which answers the description “pay” is that the payee receives it on account of the occupancy of some office, rank or employment.”
