It empowers the Treasurer to apply the money for the specific purposes listed in the Schedule and makes the funds available to meet warrants signed by the Governor‑General; no moneys may be spent under the Act after 30 June 1902.\n\nThe Schedule allocates sums to Parliament and various departments (including Defence and the Postmaster‑General), so the Act directly affects those agencies and, indirectly, taxpayers who supply the Consolidated Revenue Fund."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/c1902a00004","history":"/api/acts/c1902a00004/history","analysis":"/api/acts/c1902a00004/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/c1902a00004/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/c1902a00004/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/c1902a00004/documents"}}
