The Australian Crime Commission was taking over specific crime-fighting responsibilities from these agencies, so it needed the corresponding budget transferred to pay for them.\n\nThe direction is made under section 32 of the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*, which gives the Finance Department power to shift these 'appropriations' (parliament-approved funding) when agency functions change."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00821","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00821/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00821/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00821/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00821/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00821/documents"}}
