The biggest recipients are:\n- **Social Services** ($38.0 billion) — mostly the NDIS\n- **Defence** ($40.4 billion)\n- **Health and Aged Care** ($19.2 billion)\n- **Foreign Affairs and Trade** ($7.6 billion)\n- **Home Affairs** ($6.1 billion)\n\n**Key features:**\n- **Advance to the Finance Minister**: Allows the Finance Minister to spend up to **$400 million** extra during the year for urgent, unforeseen needs without coming back to Parliament.\n- **Notional transactions**: Internal \"payments\" between government departments are treated as real for accounting purposes, even though no actual money leaves the government.\n- **Self-repealing**: The Act automatically expires on 1 July 2026.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nWithout this Act, the government cannot legally spend money. It's the constitutional foundation for the entire federal public service — every public servant's salary, every Medicare rebate, every defence contract flows from this legislation."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.
