Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This document authorises an extra $22.2 million in government spending for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Specifically, it increases the budget allocation (called an "appropriation") for the department's "Administered Item, Outcome 3" under the 2008-2009 Appropriation Act.

The money is specifically earmarked for Australia's participation in the Shanghai World Expo 2010.

The Finance Minister made this decision using powers under section 14 of the Appropriation Act, which allows the Finance Minister to approve additional funds (called an "advance") when satisfied that urgent or unforeseen spending is needed without waiting for Parliament to pass new legislation.
