This ensures the money follows the job.\n\n**The specifics:**\n- **Amount:** $20,300,000\n- **Source:** Departmental Outputs under Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2001‑2002\n- **Legal basis:** Section 32 of the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*, which allows money to be transferred between agencies when their functions change\n\n**Why it matters:**\nWithout this transfer, the Australian Geological Survey Organisation would be unable to legally spend money on the geological survey work it has taken over from the Industry Department, even though it is now responsible for that work."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00893","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00893/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00893/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00893/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00893/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00893/documents"}}
