By making this specification, the FRC became authorised to exercise powers under the federal *Social Security (Administration) Act 1999*—specifically, to direct how welfare payments are managed (income management) for individuals under their jurisdiction.\n\n**Why it matters:** Without this instrument, the Queensland Commission could not legally perform these functions under Commonwealth law. The instrument was time-limited, automatically expiring on **1 January 2012**.\n\n**In plain terms:** The federal government officially put the Queensland Family Responsibilities Commission on its list of approved bodies that can tell Centrelink how to handle certain welfare payments."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/f2008l03441","history":"/api/acts/f2008l03441/history","analysis":"/api/acts/f2008l03441/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/f2008l03441/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/f2008l03441/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/f2008l03441/documents"}}
