This document uses a special emergency power (called an **\"Advance to the Finance Minister\"**) that lets the Finance Minister approve urgent additional spending during the financial year without waiting for a new law to pass through Parliament.\n\nThe money is specifically earmarked for the **Export Certification Reform Package**—changes to how Australia certifies agricultural and food exports for overseas markets.\n\n**Who is affected**\n\n*   **The Department of Agriculture** receives the additional funds\n*   **Exporters and agricultural businesses** may benefit from the improved certification system being funded\n*   **Taxpayers** ultimately fund this additional expenditure, which will later be reported to Parliament for oversight"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-13-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2009-2010-no-5-of-2009-2010","history":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-13-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2009-2010-no-5-of-2009-2010/history","analysis":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-13-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2009-2010-no-5-of-2009-2010/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-13-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2009-2010-no-5-of-2009-2010/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-13-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2009-2010-no-5-of-2009-2010/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/advance-to-the-finance-minister-section-13-of-appropriation-act-no-1-2009-2010-no-5-of-2009-2010/documents"}}
