The Act confines itself to appropriating a fixed sum (£493,944) from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the services and departmental items listed in the Schedule and authorises the Treasurer to issue those moneys to satisfy Governor‑General warrants, with a hard cut‑off date for expenditure (see ss.1–3).

It limits expenditure to the financial year ending 30 June 1902. The law affects the named Commonwealth departments (the recipients of allocations), the Treasurer (who issues the funds) and the Governor‑General (who signs warrants) because it is the legal permission to spend public money."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/c1902a00006","history":"/api/acts/c1902a00006/history","analysis":"/api/acts/c1902a00006/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/c1902a00006/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/c1902a00006/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/c1902a00006/documents"}}
