This ensures the agency actually doing the work has the budget to pay for it.\n\n**The specifics:**\n*   **Money being moved:** $7,333,000 in \"non-lapsing departmental appropriation from prior years\" (meaning unspent funds from previous budgets that haven't expired)\n*   **From:** Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts\n*   **To:** National Archives of Australia\n\n**Legal basis:** This is made under section 32 of the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*, which gives Finance officials the power to shift money between agencies when functions are transferred."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00956","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00956/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00956/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00956/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00956/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00956/documents"}}
