It sets a specific dollar figure (**$793,662**) that the government expects to pay out in grants to the telecommunications industry during the 2005-2006 financial year.\n\n**Why this matters:**\nTelecommunications carriers (like Telstra, Optus, etc.) must pay annual licence fees to the government. The amount they pay is calculated using a formula that includes the government's expected spending on telecom grants. By setting this estimate at $793,662, the Minister is effectively determining part of how much carriers will owe in licence fees for that year.\n\n**Key details:**\n- **Amount:** $793,662\n- **Period:** 2005-2006 financial year\n- **Legal basis:** Section 593 of the Telecommunications Act 1997 (which covers grants for industry purposes)"}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2006l01192","history":"/api/acts/f2006l01192/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2006l01192/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2006l01192/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2006l01192/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2006l01192/documents"}}
