This is essentially the paperwork that follows the machinery of government changes.\n\n**The legal bit:** It's made under **section 32 of the Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997**, which gives the Finance Department power to shift appropriations when agency functions change. The Direction takes effect as soon as it's officially registered.\n\n**In plain terms:** Biosecurity Australia got new responsibilities (probably from Agriculture), so it gets the cash to pay for them."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2005l00288","history":"/api/acts/f2005l00288/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2005l00288/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2005l00288/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2005l00288/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2005l00288/documents"}}
