It covers additional allocations to core departments (notably Postmaster‑General, Treasury, War Services), defence, territories and specific items like Australian coinage operations and public service gratuities. \n\nIt matters because parliamentary approval is required for public spending; the Act cures a funding shortfall and legalises past outlays."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/supplementary-appropriation-act-1925-26","history":"/api/acts/supplementary-appropriation-act-1925-26/history","analysis":"/api/acts/supplementary-appropriation-act-1925-26/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/supplementary-appropriation-act-1925-26/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/supplementary-appropriation-act-1925-26/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/supplementary-appropriation-act-1925-26/documents"}}
