This document authorises that shift, ensuring the House of Representatives can legally access the funds originally set aside for Finance.\n\n**Who signed it off:**\nJames Kerwin, a Branch Manager in the Finance Department's reporting unit, issued this under section 32 of the Act."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00961","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00961/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00961/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00961/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00961/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00961/documents"}}
