This direction ensures that leftover funds (called 'non-lapsing appropriations' — money from previous years that hasn't expired) follow the work when it transfers between departments.\n\n**Who it affects:**\nPrimarily the two government agencies involved: the Australian Greenhouse Office (losing the funds) and the Department of the Environment and Heritage (receiving the funds). It also affects how public money is accounted for in the budget.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis is a routine but important administrative step to ensure money intended for environmental and climate programs isn't lost or trapped in the wrong agency's accounts during a machinery of government change."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2006b11669","history":"/api/acts/f2006b11669/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2006b11669/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2006b11669/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2006b11669/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2006b11669/documents"}}
