Commonwealth legislation
This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This document records an administrative determination made under section 11(4) of the Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Act 1999-2000. It authorised an urgent additional payment (an 'advance') of $60,000 to the House of Representatives for 'Administered Expenses'—day-to-day running costs managed by the department. The 'Advance to the Presiding Officer' mechanism allows the Speaker (the Presiding Officer of the House) to approve extra funds for parliamentary operations without waiting for a new Act of Parliament, acting on advice from officials like the Clerk. This particular advance increased the House's budget for the 1999-2000 financial year.
