Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This document authorises a $95,000 budget increase for the Australian Senate.

Under the Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Act 1999-2000, the government can provide extra funding to parliamentary departments during the financial year through an "advance to the Presiding Officer" (the President of the Senate, who chairs the upper house).

What this does:

Increases funding for "Administered Expenses Outcome 1" by $95,000
Uses section 11(3) of the Act, which lets the Finance Minister boost appropriations for parliamentary departments when needed
Issued on 19 May 2000 by the Budget Coordination Unit

This is a routine mid-year budget adjustment to ensure the Senate has sufficient money to continue its operations.
