Similar \"grant\" Acts were common during this era, allowing the federal government to bail out or support states facing severe budget shortfalls. It represents an early form of federal-state financial assistance before the modern system of GST distributions and specific purpose payments."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/south-australia-grant-act-1932","history":"/api/acts/south-australia-grant-act-1932/history","analysis":"/api/acts/south-australia-grant-act-1932/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/south-australia-grant-act-1932/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/south-australia-grant-act-1932/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/south-australia-grant-act-1932/documents"}}
