This happens when government functions (jobs or responsibilities) are shifted from one agency to another — commonly called a \"machinery of government\" change.\n\n**The breakdown:**\n* **$305,606** — Current year funding (from the 2001-02 budget)\n* **$18,905** — Leftover funding from previous years that hasn't expired (called \"non-lapsing\")\n\n**Why it matters:**\nWhen the government moves a program or responsibility from Department A to Department B, the budget allocated to that work must follow it. This Direction makes that transfer official under the *Financial Management and Accountability Act 1997*, ensuring the Australian Customs Service has the money to pay for the functions it just inherited."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2007b00962","history":"/api/acts/f2007b00962/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2007b00962/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2007b00962/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2007b00962/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2007b00962/documents"}}
