Here, certain services moved from the Attorney-General's Department to the Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia (ITSA), so this direction formally shifts **$649,000** to ITSA to pay for these transferred responsibilities.\n\n**The details:**\n- **$247,000** moves from the Attorney-General's budget (Outcome 1) to ITSA\n- **$402,000** moves from the Attorney-General's budget (Outcome 2) to ITSA\n\nThink of it as the official paperwork that ensures the new agency has the cash to do the job it just inherited."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00903","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00903/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00903/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00903/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00903/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00903/documents"}}
