This means the AFC can enter into financial transactions up to $1 million without ministerial sign-off, but requires approval for anything exceeding that amount.\n\n*Note: The AFC has since been merged into Screen Australia, but these rules governed its original operations.*"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/australian-film-commission-regulations-2002","history":"/api/acts/australian-film-commission-regulations-2002/history","analysis":"/api/acts/australian-film-commission-regulations-2002/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/australian-film-commission-regulations-2002/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/australian-film-commission-regulations-2002/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/australian-film-commission-regulations-2002/documents"}}
