Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This document is a determination (a formal decision) made under the Appropriation Act (No. 2) 2005-2006. It uses a power called an "Advance to the Finance Minister" — a mechanism that lets the Finance Minister (or their delegate) approve urgent government spending when Parliament isn't sitting to pass new budget laws.

What it does:

Authorises an extra $1,831,781 for the Department of Environment and Heritage
The money comes from the "Administered Assets and Liabilities" appropriation item in the 2005-2006 budget
The funds are specifically for the Renewable Energy Equity Fund (REEF) — a programme supporting renewable energy projects

Why it matters: This is how the government handles unforeseen or urgent spending needs between parliamentary sittings. Instead of recalling Parliament to pass a new law for a relatively small amount, the Finance Minister (or their delegate) can approve the transfer directly, with the spending later reported to Parliament.
