Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination gives the Department of Home Affairs an extra $52.56 million in funding for the 2018-2019 financial year.

Under the Appropriation Act, the Finance Minister has a special power (called the 'Advance to the Finance Minister') to top up agency budgets during the year when there's an urgent or unforeseen need for cash. This instrument uses that power to increase the Department's 'departmental item' — which is budget speak for money to pay for running costs like staff wages, rent, and operations.

Key points:

Who gets the money? Department of Home Affairs
How much? $52,560,000
What for? Departmental running costs (day-to-day operations)
Why this way? The Finance Minister can add funds quickly without waiting for new laws to pass through Parliament
