This Act has been repealed and is no longer in force. It is retained for historical reference.
This instrument uses the Appropriation (Parliamentary Departments) Act’s top‑up power (s.11(5)) to give the Presiding Officers authority to increase funding mid‑year so Parliament can keep operating.
It adds $58,000 to the Joint House Department’s departmental outputs to cover unexpected operational cost overruns, avoiding delays from passing new appropriation laws.
