Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This determination, dated 22 May 2003, uses the Advance to the Finance Minister power (s.12, Appropriation Act No.2 2002–03) to transfer $8,692,728 to the Department of Transport and Regional Services for “Specific Payments to the States and Territories” (Outcome 1). Signed by Jim Kerwin under delegation, it top‑ups federal transport grants—an example of the budget “safety valve” that lets government quickly allocate funds for urgent or unforeseen needs without immediate new legislation.
