These payments are called 'national partnership payments' — they're grants of financial assistance from the Commonwealth to help fund specific projects and services that the federal and state governments have agreed to work on together. The money is split between the states based on their particular needs and agreements: New South Wales gets the largest share ($609 million), followed by Western Australia ($324 million), while the ACT receives the smallest amount ($7 million). This is the sixth such payment determination made for the 2024-25 financial year."},"flash_summary_failed":{"failed":true,"reason":"Unauthenticated.
