Income management means a portion of a person's Centrelink payments is restricted (or 'quarantined') so it can only be spent on priority items like food, rent, and medicine, rather than received as unrestricted cash.\n\n**Context:**\nThis instrument was made in December 2007 as part of the Northern Territory Emergency Response (often called 'the Intervention'). It operated temporarily, commencing on 13 December 2007 and expiring on 7 December 2008."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-various-no-5-determination","history":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-various-no-5-determination/history","analysis":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-various-no-5-determination/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-various-no-5-determination/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-various-no-5-determination/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/social-security-administration-declared-relevant-northern-territory-areas-various-no-5-determination/documents"}}
