Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a budget determination made under the "Advance to the Finance Minister" power—a mechanism that lets the government shuffle extra money between departments without waiting for Parliament to pass new laws.

What it does:

Transfers $13,193,220 to the Department of Finance and Administration
For: "Administered Expenses – Outcome 2" (meaning money spent running government programs rather than departmental overhead, specifically aimed at improving government efficiency)
Legal basis: Section 11 of Appropriation Act (No. 1) 2000-2001 (the annual budget act)
Who signed it: Phillip Prior, a senior Finance Department official acting with delegated authority from the Finance Minister

Why this exists: Sometimes departments need urgent funds that weren't fully predicted when the budget was set. Instead of recalling Parliament, the Finance Minister can issue these "advances" to cover the gap.
