The amounts are 'prescribed' (officially set) under section 43(2) of the parent Act, meaning Parliament has locked in these specific dollar figures rather than leaving it to annual budget negotiations."},"flash_summary":{"complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":true,"description":"The regulations retain their original function of prescribing the Foundation's funded amounts under section 43(2) of the Act but have been amended to update the specific dollar amounts and the covered financial years (see Regulation 3 and the amendment notes dated 2019, 2022 and 2024).

By fixing those dollar amounts under section 43(2) of the Act, the instrument determines how much public money the Foundation will have to operate and make grants, and records later amendments that updated those prescribed figures."},"issue_detection":{"absurdities":[],"contradictions":[]},"summary":{"complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Scope cannot be assessed as the legislative text was not available for analysis.
