These payments are called \"national partnership payments\" — essentially federal grants to help fund specific projects or services that the Commonwealth and states have agreed to work on together. The money is distributed unevenly based on each jurisdiction's needs and agreements: Queensland gets the largest share (about $98 million), while the ACT gets the smallest (about $2.5 million). The Assistant Minister for Competition, Charities and Treasury made this determination under the Federal Financial Relations Act 2009, which is the law that governs how the federal government shares money with states and territories."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"A positive credit balance is required for all requests, including BYOK, so fallback providers remain available.
