It affects taxpayers (who provide the revenue), departmental managers (who receive the allotments) and the Treasurer (who controls disbursement), because it legally enables short‑term government spending and fixes who may spend what and when."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/supply-act-no-1-1924-25","history":"/api/acts/supply-act-no-1-1924-25/history","analysis":"/api/acts/supply-act-no-1-1924-25/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/supply-act-no-1-1924-25/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/supply-act-no-1-1924-25/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/supply-act-no-1-1924-25/documents"}}
