It ensures the government has legal authority to spend this money on pension payments during 1928.\n- The Act does not create new pension entitlements or change who qualifies; it simply provides the cash to pay existing commitments.\n\nIn short, this legislation puts money in the bank account set aside for honouring Australia's obligations to its war veterans."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/war-pensions-appropriation-act-1928","history":"/api/acts/war-pensions-appropriation-act-1928/history","analysis":"/api/acts/war-pensions-appropriation-act-1928/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/war-pensions-appropriation-act-1928/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/war-pensions-appropriation-act-1928/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/war-pensions-appropriation-act-1928/documents"}}
